    Occupational hazard.
    No range on cameras now not really a problem on the bike.

    What you can try is mount your detector vertically they sell mounts to do so and this will give you a bit more range on the cameras.
    I heard those tpx are good on bikes. My mate said something along the lines of the lead bike has the detector and others can get the alerts in there helmets if there not too far away.
    Do you mean instant on as in pop. There not suppose to ticket using pop. Or maybe you mean he flicked on the hawk at last minute.

    Interesting about mount vertically. Altho they have bits that look like they shoot a laser beam out to Search for radar. The guy at radar direct who should know recons they don't look. They listen like a radio listening for a radio station as you tune it. He says it can be in the Centre consol of the car and work fine.
    He should know. But yeah just what I was told.

    Only got two chirps in the headset.
    Mind you I was traveling reasonably quick.

    The patter they give always make chuckle,"how fast were you going" as if you are going to tell them.
    "Have a nice day" it was,"How fast does it go" give me a break.
    I always walk round their car check tyres,wof etc. You never know may get lucky.

    He reckoned he clocked me at 135 but gave me a discount of only 130,also asked if I had demerits must have been hoping I had hit 100 demerits.
    Also got bit defensive when I suggested he was very "quick".

    I just consider it an occupational hazard riding bikes.
    Probably get a ticket every 25-30,000km/2-3years

    No wonder it didn't go down well, what a dick thing to say.

    Hopefully you don't expect their help when you're having the shit kicked out of you. But yet they still will.

    Yes aparently in oz you can't have them and the cops have a thing called a sniffer. Which detects radar detectors. So you need one that is un-detectable. Which would be the kind with the magnesium case. Beltronics sti or escort redline. So I'm learning they don't detect detectors in nz. So my choice has been swayed back now from some of my other posts.
