    jrandom contributes to New Zealand motoring history

    Thanks jrandom. Soon I will no longer have to put up with my wife interpreting the map anymore.

    Well done. Obviously a fine effort made by jrandom in between posts...
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Phew. Work-related, eh? I had nameless fears that I'd made it onto one of those Highway Patrol reality TV shows, or summat.

    Yeah. Um. Pricey, ain't they? Fun, though. And if any of you want to play with one for a while, or are going overseas and want to 'test' it in unfamiliar environs, I can probably lend you a unit. Quiet-like.

    Probably. We've done a bunch of driving around the country with it.

    Does that mean you want a go with one? Unfortunately I'm in Auckland and so are all the test units...

    Nup. Not waterproof and the mounting equipment isn't very appropriate. At this point in time we don't have any dedicated motorcycle products in the market, I'm afraid.

    You should add a police radar detector feature showing the exact location of cops on the monitor somehow. That'll sell like hot cakes after that.

    Great! now we'll have twats in their Saab/BMW/Audi or whatever veering across the centre of the road (probably on the coast road near Pukerua Bay) while trying to figure out where they are on the device

    Probably.

    My Scots blood says $4,000 dollars will buy a lot of road maps and pay a lot of tickets if I'm silly enough to get pinged for speeding, :sly:
