Yeah it's good when that happens. It should be everyone's civic duty to warn out other motorists whether in a cage or on a bike. Last time I got pinged I parked up the road and warned everyone who came by.Originally Posted by Gixxer 4 ever
I'm glad you lot think flashing to warn others of nearby cops, I flash my headlights mindlessly every quarter kilometer constantly, regardless of the proximty or otherwise of any cops, makes oncomming drivers paranoid and drive slower.Originally Posted by jimbo750

Ho ho nice one scum'. What about if there's a car in front of you? They might think you want them to go faster. Or think your some psycho who wants to off them.Originally Posted by scumdog

This evening I got the flash from a car and a few minutes later hadn't seen the cop.Originally Posted by jimbo750
There was a row of traffic in front of me with a horse-float in front and I passed them once we got off the twisties and then slowed back down to 108kph and around the next corner was mr plod cruising along in the same directionhe hadn't seen me...
A slow next 20km though stuck at 100kph![]()
I almost always flash to warm people of an impending speed trap. The way I see it, is it's similar to having a radar detector, which police supposedly support. So, whether I flash, or the person already has a detector, it's achieving the same thing, slowing the people down, so how can that be bad.
Well yeah, the cameras don't get the money from the ticket, but the money isn't the point, right?
I really appreciate people flashing me, especially if it's on the Motorway![]()
You'd love my ex-wife then, because she does the same thingOriginally Posted by scumdog
Personal I think people who do that are >>>
The "Kiwi-Radar-Detector" is still my favourite detector and the only one I use

Whats the problem with my flashing? - you haven't been speeding have you?Originally Posted by RiderInBlack
'course when I DO see a cop I DON'T flash, makes it more exciting for the other motorists, keeps them on their toes and alert.![]()

I have noticed an increase in the frequency of "flashing" lately, and also that a few local speed cameras been vandalised.

The other thing about flashing other motorists is that some folk go hard on the anchors and slow down to 70Kmh when warned. I don't believe you can be nicked for doing 70 in a 100 so why do people do that?Originally Posted by scumdog

Awww where did you go ???Originally Posted by Gixxer 4 ever
The ride through Ormonville , Weber , Wimbelton , Porongahau etc was fantastic on Friday. I want to go back again , those roads are almost as good as the Coromandle loop with almost no traffic , got to be good .

Sorry I missed the ride with you. :confused2 Bloody work.Originally Posted by Morepower
Went to Palmy on .Saturday Kev was looking for a jacket. I wanted to get Phil Turnbulls to look a the front rotors on the Gixxer.
. They are starting to clatter when riding as they are wearing in the area of the rivets. No problem at this stage. Wear due to hard braking when the bike was on the track. As I do not race it is not likely to become a problem
Oh yea
came over the Pahiatua track.
What a ride. Kev tried to do at 45 km corner at 145...
.. I can't talk I had a stoppy before that but not by choice.
We had a great run and had lunch at Burglar Bills. Dam best feed in the country. Sorry I did not call you. I struggled to get away from work and Kev was almost going with out me. But I got to his place in the end. It would have been to slow a ride for you Dave
