Good luck in court. I have never been caught but a few times have driven a bike without the proper documentation or licence/insurance requirements. My last bike (VFR) I drove home from where I bought it and almost got caught in a road block. Luckily I seen it and was able to turn off before it. Id wear a suit and bring some lube, just incase though.

Same here, thats why the parentheses (not two up). Here you must ride with another rider (licensed) on another bike. We looked kinda funny while I had my permit, everybody I knew rode Harleys, then there's me on a F4i.

I didn't know about the eye protection? I thought for sure we could ride without a helmet unless your still under you have had your license under a year. As for the licenses ive been caught many times without mine, along with insurance card.. Just take it down to court with you and that should be written off.. AS for the title, license plate deal.. Thats your fault, there going to get you for that one.

id perfer if the state stayed out of my business, i always wear a helmet, but i feel like the state telling us what we should do for our safety is beyond their function
and yeah did you have insurance or registration? im not sure of the rules in other states though...

Pretty much. Only option here is to
Go in looking like a scrub or acting like a squid and the judge may go in chambers to find a bigger book to throw at you. You are so far in the wrong here and only a tiny bit of research on the judge's part will open you up to a world of pain. For example, in most states violating the restrictions of a temp license can mean the revocation of the temp license and the inability to reapply for some time (usually a year). Or a simple glance at the license plate noted on the ticket and a glance at the registration will reveal the fictitious plates.
Clean, contrite and studious (hardworking college student) image may likely have the judge simply glance at your documents to be sure your name is on them and toss it all out. Look or act even remotely like a squid (or an adrenaline junky college kid) and the judge will likely inspect everything to make sure the "t"s are crossed and the "i"s dotted.
And yours aren't
- Dress in a nice suit
- Get a haircut if it's not tight and smart
- Bring every piece of documentation you have
- Meekly explain that you had to move your bike between classes and left everything in the classroom
- Be prepared to take anything the judge hands you and thank him / her

Kuro gave some incredible advice. Everything he said.
****ty situation, you acknowledge you were in the wrong and we've all been absent of mind from time to time.. no need to beat that dead horse.
Good luck in court bud, hopefully things go in your general direction. Hope for the best, plan for the worst.
Wear that lid from now on for every little trip!!

Your image to the judge will help him / her decide what to do with you. Look right, explain you had to move your bike and left everything in class. If necessary, acknowledge your mistake. I say if necessary because that'd require an admission of guilt.
