Does it not work accurately on bikes? Anyone else out there >been pulled over for doing impossible velocities? Depends on what model radar (an old fashioned one??) the units used a few years ago had to be operated very carefully..... 1) point it to the sky and fire it and you get the sky moving at 150mph!! soooo, if your bike is "transparent" he could have clocked the sky??? 2) you were "transparent" and he actually clocked a vehicle behind/near you (this is quite likely, radars tend to "latch" onto the fastest vehicle in its "window") Besides, you were on a bike, you DESERVE to be pulled over! ;-} >ken perlow ***** ***** - Ken Dykes Software Development Group, U. of Waterloo Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
