I noticed a few weeks ago while going up I-83 from Baltimore, MD towards Harrisburg, PA (and a few other places) and passing a handful of those "You are Going XX mph" kiosk/sign thingy's that the didnt even pick me up. I must have passed between 10 and 20 of these things and not a 1 registered anything. I figured the absense of a flat metal surface (i.e. front license plate, car hood etc..) was the reason. I also figured that those signs probably use the cheapest method of speed detection and that could be synonomous with old technology. I would like to hear from anybody who has got pulled over speeding and if they knew what method of detection it was, or from anyone in the law enforcment field who doesn't mind sharing the in's and out's of speed detection as it relates to motorcycles in particular. Just curious to know the facts just in case I do get a ticket and want to try to weasal my way out of it. It probably won't matter anyway because I know first hand the "calibration technicality" doesn't work and an insanity plea won't fly :-) ! Also in my experience the cop always shows up so there goes those hopes. I always end up going to court then being ordered to pay the ticket and then court costs plus a half a days work missed. I could always get a radar detector but im a cheap skate so until I actually get a ticket or pulled over I won't see the benifit to the cost.
