i have been picked up in the middle of the waioeka gorge on xmas eve, had to leave the wife with the bike and hitched out to opotiki, and that was the third time picked up in two days, and we finally found the problem, a broken wire in the altenator, thankfully they are easy to get at on the wingOriginally Posted by skippa1

Grrr... what bugs me about that camera is that people will brake just as they near the camera zone then once they're in the clear they speed up to 100~

They have front plates in India, but across the front as opposed to the way they used to be in NZ. Bloody ugly 'cos they have lots of digits; could be useful as crash bars.

Yep 100% agree, think of it as towing insurance if you breakdown away somewhere....
Back to thread.... I suspect Mark Stockdale prob just got himself some late Christmas mail from the 4 k tolerance period.... and maybe on same day some bikes snotted past him and hes pissed knowing the camera might not have got them....
Jesus Christ he must have never heard of lawn mower choke cables and spring mounted plates......
Really if it was about safety we should have bellypan mounted plates! For wheelies and extreme cornering lol

Well not quite. Those cameras are not much better than what we already had. They are digital rather than film and they have radar rather than loops cut in to the road. They can still only take photos in one direction so make no difference to the AA. The main bonus is that they are so expensive they can't afford to roll them out around the country so at the moment most fixed camera sites are out of action.
Now point to point cameras as referenced by the unicorn are a different kettle of bananas. They have had them in my home town for years. I heard a rumour once, no idea if it was true, that some were actually set to take in to consideration congestion, so even if you went from point A to point B in a time that equalled the speed limit you would get a ticket because the congestion meant you must have had to exceed the speed limit somewhere. They still only face in one direction though so bikes are still 'exempt' heading one way. Some years ago there was clamour for forward facing identification for bikes in the UK but it never happened. In the digital age however you don't need a full size number plate ruining the lines or being a hazard to pedestrians, a simple barcode on the screen or headlight is all they need. I am sure it will come if the AA keep shouting and we keep killing ourselves.
Luckily we have miles of road and relatively few speed cameras so it hardly matters. I would say fuck the AA but the first A is for Automobile so it really just does what it says on the tin.

AA Members have and organisation the can moan to and some group clout.....motorcycle riders have KB to bleat on
When they put the by pass in past Orewa the AA moaned it was unfair that bikes were free ( from memory) and TPTB caved in
and put a charge on it.
My personal protest was to never use the tunnel depriving the Govt of several dollars per year.
I also wrote to the AA complaining about their anti motorcycle stance and cancelled getting their propaganda magazine....that
showed them.
On the subject of number plates those sideways mounted ones and ones stuck in front of the back wheel don't look cool, they look stupid, as generally are the riders of such bikes.
