    I know this might sound obvious to some of you but i was talking to a friend during the week who was done by the Gardai for speeding. (they had speed gun) he was fined and given a ticket.

    The gas thing was that he seemed to believe that the cops couldnt pick up bikes on speed cameras/guns!! I asked a few other mates of mine, and some thought the same.

    So there you go!

    Mad. Yes indeed they can, as I found out myself once! The words, barrel, shooting and fish come to mind. :rolleyes: Maybe installing a mirror on the front of your bike might help :D

    Or put aluminium fairings on your bike then hammer them into a stealth fighter shape :D

    Amazing what some people will believe, I think people start these stories in the pub for the laugh. Like the one about hanging a CD in your truck window, or keying in a funny code into your Nokia phone (that was back in the 5110 days!) which would somehow render you immune to radar waves.

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

    chap down the pub toled me that mirrored visors reflect radar waves....

    the reason radars dont pick up bikes is because if your clever youll be on the otherside of a van as you pass the happy coppers

    When I see a radar gun I usually drive up between 2 cars and stay there until I pass. To this day I've never been caught. Not that i speed or anything ;)
