Funny, doesn't look too bad to me.

It will not go off if you are not speeding, so what's the problem?

This may seem like a dumb question. But how does a speed camera get a bike with no number plate on the front???? Thus by my logic you need to have passed the camera for it to click your rear number plate???

I have been wondering this for some time???

Nope, you're right. They can't get you if taken from the front, that's why you hammer past giving them the finger :Punk:

yeah thought so, got a bit confused with that thread about getting heaps of camera fines in short time "going there" and "coming back". Must have been in cages

In Europe you're allowed to park facing either way..

That got me a couple of times in NZ.

Thats a weird rule this one ey! I mean, ok at some place its dangerous because you need to be the other way of the road, but seriously sometimes it doesn't matter too much..

No, it's actually a very sensible rule if you realise that by parking facing forwards on the road means that at night the headlights from a car will pick up the red reflectors that must by law be fitted to cars (Usually built into the car's taillight units).

So theoretically it means that if you pick up the reflection from the reflectors from a parked car it should mean the road will be to the right of it.

Of course, you have to allow for the possibility the car might be park on the grass verge, or even by a Pom who has parked the wrong way - but in theory it is sound! :)

I have noticed that the fixed speed cameras around Hamilton don't seem to notice the old XJ even at night. No interesting photos at all
