Man goes into the offices of his local newspaper and asks if he can put an annoncement in the obituary section. On being informed it is £2.00 per line he writes on a piece of paper and hands it to the assistant. She is surprised to see just one line: 'DORIS IS DEAD'. She questions the man who expla...

Yeah, these things work well, but it's all aimed at Gatso's and lets face it there are usually loads of signs, a big ruler on the road and, if you live nearby, local knowledge so it's still a waste of money. I should think you could have an automatic revolving number plate made for the price of a ra...

Been away, good to see the site is still going strong. Anyway, the lines on both sides when only a camera on one......either because a gatso on the other side is planned in the future OR, just like all those signs indicating radar when it does not exist, just to worry the motorist into slowing down,...

To be prosecuted for a speeding offence there must be 2 forms of corroborating evidence. For example on a Gatso the speed sensor that records the speed is not enough. It is corroborated by the 2 photo's measuring your distance travelled using the graduations on the road. Almost ANY combination of me...

Thanks to all those who have contributed to my confusion but especially Max who has done 'exactly what it says on the tin'. I think I am going to set my practical range on reserve at 20miles and hope I can remeber to check for that tiny red light at the right time. Just for the record the guy I boug...

I was chatting with one of the guys at Quill and he made a point of saying that he did not recommend carbon cans on a VTR. His reasons were nothing to do with heat, he said the pulse of the exhaust on a big twin can lead to weakening of the can and subsequent failure. Don't know if that's the case f...

Mmmm, I guess I was after some forlorn reassurance that things were not as bad as they say......10-20 miles after the light comes on, it probably takes me that long to notice the light has come on! Ride till I run out of petrol and then report on how far I got after the red light.....what a responsi...

Could those of you with more experience of the storms tiny fuel tank let me know when am I likely to run out of fuel?
The light seems to come on at 90-92 miles so when do I start pushing?
Just how far have I got to find that elusive garage?
Thanks in advance.

A few facts about Gatso's...... First of all they only apply to vehicles travelling in the direction they are pointing, in other words if it flashes in your rear view mirror then you might be in trouble, if it flashes in your face you are OK. If the camera does flash as you approach, it is telling y...
