I'm so stupid. I've got to slow down. I was riding into Budapest where the speed limit drops to 100 kph. I was clocked at 141 kph.

This is a west end view of an eastbound "Lotsokids." :pardon:

I'm guessing covering the plate with a sign that says "EatMe" or some such would get you into more trouble, but it sure would be fun to zip passed a speed camera a few times with it on.

Yeah - that guy's a lot fatter than I am! Can you come to Hungary and go to court with me and be my character witness?  :sarcastic:

HA! until recently we had front on (only) photographing static cameras so motorcycles got away with it....

Then one time not long ago, some guy rode through one speed trap several times repetedly, flipping the royal finger to the camera, standing on the seat and generally taunting the fuzz, so they put his picture on telly asking for help to identify him and sure enough, someone did, so they busted his ass.

 In Arizona, they MUST be able to identify the driver, so they MUST be able to see their face.....  Helmet-wearing bikers get a pass.
Any ticket sent thru the mail is NOT a legal Service, so, if the letter is ignored, the municipality has 120 days from the date of the infraction to legally serve the violator. They do have one out, a PIN for the website is included and if that PIN is used to view the info online, that is considered as proof that the violater received the letter/ticket.....
The state no longer uses the speed cams, too many complaints to our state leg.....   :yahoo:

Not to mention the guy wearing the mask blowing through the AZ speed cams, must have drove LEO's nuts as he could not be identified in 100 or so potential tickets.... :biggrin:

Yeah.... But, they watched his address and followed him. Busted him as he was blasting past another cam...  They don't like it when someone gets one over on 'em too many times.

It wasn't a total loss though, you got a cool riding picture out of the deal. Although, for $220 you would think they could afford a color photo.


When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
