I was issued a speeding ticket this past Friday while riding my motorcycle. I know I was speeding (I opened it up on an entrance ramp to a highway only to see a cop sitting ahead of it waiting). My question is, do I have any case if the ticket is missing any information?

The cop did not ask for my insurance, which I thought was weird. Then when I got the ticket, it says "Suzi" for the bike's make (Suzuki), which is correct. The model simply says "Bike." It's specifically a GSXR-600 and clearly says so all over the sides of my bike. And for color, nothing is listed. I don't have the ticket or my license plate number infront of me to verify, but the plate number also seemed off when I first looked at the ticket.

I've had my fair share of tickets over the years and almost always end up paying them rather than contesting them out of sheer lack of time and patience, but in my reseach years ago while preparing to fight a ticket, I was fairly certain I came across something that said if anything was invalid on this ticket, the case could be dismissed if I went to court.

Could someone advise me on this situation?

None of the following has anything to do with the speed you were driving:

Again, the question is: If there is invalid and/or missing information on this ticket, is it possible that it could be dismissed. The speed is not the issue.

And, AGAIN, if you can't follow the rules, you can't get an answer.

Or, to put it another way: US LAW ONLY!

Rules? Are you a traffic cop or what because that's all I'm hearing about. Yes this happened in the US, hence US law would apply... If you don't have an answer...don't reply maybe??

Unfortunately those minor omissions on the ticket are not nearly enough to get the ticket dismissed. Better luck next time.

The other person who replied knew this too, but apparently decided it would be more fun to mess you around than to give you a straight answer.

Indeed.

Can you imagine how sad posters here are who gain their personal satisfaction from abusing posters looking for some advice? The seem to run in packs, egging each other on- admonishing each other when one isn't 'rude enough' for their personal pleasure.
