We here in the U.S. are facing legislation that may place radar cameras (affectionately called Gatsos by you brits) on many of our
major roadways... what a drag.

Just for you guys, I dug up some good info on how you have been
treating those revenue generating twinkle boxes. heheheh

Noooooooo don't let them do it mate! hehe at all costs Confused

They ruin road riding! So many people I know have turned to the track since the invention of speed cameras!

And our plan is to move to USA or France or something when we've had enough of the UK's speed cameras Laughing

Yes, but in the USA the carrying of guns is legal. Suspect plenty of people will unload these in the direction of speed cameras.

All the best

Good site. Smile
None of the scameras being taken down are in london though Sad

Maybe use london bikers should get some air guns and go round taking the revenue generators out (not the few that are around schools).

Who's up for it. Twisted Evil

Arizona is still a bit of the old west attitude. As long as you are not a felon or are on probation Smile you can carry a gun on your belt or out in the open with very few acceptions... like banks, schools & airports... who knows, they might even market a new "anti-roadside camera" cartridge... hey wait... I'm headed for the patent office Razz

You'll see that MOST of the younger guys riding Harleys here pack heat when they ride... kind of unnerving because they are usually out drinking too... Many a roadsign has been peppered by pistols out in the back country when these blokes think they are the old cavalry or something.

I actually saw some arsehole doing 70 on an exit ramp on a Hiyabusa answering his cell phone the other day, no helmet, cut off sleveless shirt, no gloves... Moron. We inaffectionately refer to those kind of folks as "Squids".

That's really stupid. Surely the wind noise makes it hard to have a decent conversation. Mr. Green

I like the fact on the site 'people accidentally drive into them', shame their starting to put crash barriers around them to stop this.

hold on a minuite...

am I the only one who has noticed that while the guy on the bike is 'pulling down the gatso' / 'burning out' next to it there is a monkey in leathers and a helmet scaling the gatso??

wot is the world comming to? Rolling Eyes

Anyone see top gear when they did the 'how fast do you have to go to outrun a gatso' show?

think it was 180ish mph, very entertaining though!

It was 164mph, which, considering they had to use 70 grands worth of car, isn't too out of reach of the sports bikes and some of the others too.

So, bikers, just wind the throttle right back and you'll be sorted!*

* Please note, this is in everyway a joke and not meant to be taken seriously, anyone that does is retarded. You shouldn't speed, anywhere, especially not in built up areas.

30.06 has a longer range than ANY speed camera..... could just put a round thru the camera lens from 1/2 mile away... my .303 Enfield would probably knock the damn thing clean off the mount...
