All please be careful!

I nearly got caught by this yesterday but luckily I was stuck behind another car at the time.

It looks like a normal silver motorbike parked at the side of the road however the rear panniers look like grills. I remember reading this post so checked my speed and sure enough as soon as I got close my Road Angel started shouting "Warning, laser!, laser! laser!

Drove through Slough last week and saw one there too!

He was parked at the top of Sussex Place where it meets A4 London Road. Seems he's posted there to catch those with lead boots on as they hoof it down from the M4.

I got zapped by a police bike with a camera three times, it was a cop with a camera on a tripod. However, although on all three occasions I was doing a bit over the limit I never got a ticket. When I asked a retired copper what the deal was he said that they were checking either insurance or road tax, not speed. However, the location of yours suggests they were after speeders since the ones I've seen were always on busy urban roads where volume of traffic was the objective.

The B3056 between Beaulieu and Lyndhurst. You go over the crest of a hill and then down into a dip. The bike is waiting for you as you come over the crest so you can't see it or slow down in time. For once I thank god that I was stuck behind a slow car otherwise my licence would have hit the shredder!!!!

Great, more of them out to get us. Will have to be extra careful now, or consider going to gooby-esque levels of protection.

So Joe, were you out "feeding the ponies"

bugger...

new forest 40mph zones.... far to easy to cruise at a steady 120-130mph

You should always "feed the pony" to help break in young fillies before attempting to "ride bare back"

Joe is a dirty banker....

I always go out with "adequate protection"
