So, I’ve learned a bit about laser here, and I’ve learnt that my 8500 is working ok too, and that I can ask for a certificate – thank you to those that have been helpful. It would be good if the rest of you could resist the urge to come back plain nasty.
    Amen to the above mate! I didn't think your original post was a whinge at all!
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    So why do you have a radar detector ???? That is a lot of petrol money wasted, if you don't "intend" to speed... A bit like wearing a life jacket, and not going in the water...

    They are next to impossible to pick up when off of the bike and sitting between cages.
    However, dealing with laser really isn't a problem.

    Or having air bags in your car when you don't intend to crash?

    I suspect the biker fuzz was using an old k band unit, most people turn off the k band.

    [QUOTE=Ixion;1906253]Uh. You got pinged by a cop with Laser. Laser is line of sight. He can't target you until he can see you. If he can see you , then you can see him. So you didn't notice a bikie cop up ahead , targeting you (and other traffic)?

    dosnt always work, there was a spate in wellington of bike cops in pairs, 1 standing on a motorway overpass and the other parked about 300m down the motorway, also seen 1 doing the old bit out of the movies, wasnt a billboard but was parked behind a sdvertising sign on the side of the road, all you could see was his helmet sticking over it
