    Yeah... if it's a speed monitor that's not very interesting.. they only go up to to 10k's over the limit then just say 'SLOW DOWN'.

    The one of the SH2 road works tell you your speed whatever you're doing..

    Starting a up a high score talley next time I go down.

    It's a miniature fridge, and there's beer inside.

    honest.
    It wasn't me, it was like that when I found it. Honest.

    They have a couple on Mt Albert road that go 49, 50, slow down. My thought is always "Fuck you, I'm only doing about 55".

    The peasant's do not have enough to put "speed monitoring devices" into all of the locations that they desire... SO... there are one or two machines that will be moved around to different mounting locations. You have seen one of them.

    Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get a "SLOW - NOW!!!" reading.

    They are fkn useless devices...I mean, when it says "slow down" and my speedo is reading higher than the posted limit, then how am I supposed to know what my speedo error is?
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    The thing now grown numbers. At least I know my speedo is 10% over.

    Oh by the way. If it was your Honda tt classic mysteriously damaged this monday's gales outside Seatoun tunnel. I righted it after seeing the poor thing blown over. Didn't have the means to leave a note and a trifle worried leaving my bike parked up so left in haste.

    "The thing now grown numbers. At least I know my speedo is 10% over."

    Beware the false sense of security these devices are designed to give.

    Just when you think "She's right I got 10% margin..."
    You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me

    Oh that's a relief then, I thought you were going to say it beams you to Transylvania where you end up doing the Time Warp. You had me worried there for a moment.....

    Upon closer inspection (more and more of these ruddy things appearing all over the place) I would like to counter your description of them being 'cream coloured' for 'hearing aide beige' instead
