Rode my Kat around all day long. Great day for riding.

Also got more parts in. Fender eliminator, here we come!

I wanted to do what this guy did ...

... but instead took a nice easy ride to Wal-Mart .... Well maybe not soooo easy ....

that pretty wild. I do however think the media altered the story a bit cus 193mph in the rain doesn't make much sense. And if he was going that fast, the only reason the cops stopped em is because he let them haha

I thought radar didn't work in the rain...

Anyone notice the comments on the MSN site? Lots of spam about an over-50 dating site, a few on-topic comments and one that starts off being on-topic and then turns into an ad for the same dating site.

Weird.

I got almost killed three times on the ride home. A bus, a Panamera and a Micra.
Don't care how it sounds but the Pana comes with a dent from now on. I even stopped and waited for the f***er but he drove right off.

Radar guns work just fine in the rain.... Who told you that they didn't?

Radar guns are simply a ground surveying unit called "LiDAR", "Light Detection And Ranging". The units send out thousands of light pulses a second which then bounce back to the unit to capture a distance and time. The unit will then calculate speed (V = d/t).

Simple stuff with multiple applications. The only thing that would stop a cop from getting a reading on a vehicle is another object that's in the way permanently (rain and dust don't count, but fog will alter the reading).




On another note, I rode my KAT to work today and dreamt of what it would look like with those parts on that came in last night. One can dream.

Took it for the annual MOT, passed with flying colours !!

Obviously I can't say anthing about the equipment of the US police force but here in Belgium I had my pic taken in heavy rain and wind once (travelling by car), and they were dead on on the speed.

Read through the thread and never saw anything about rain affecting LiDAR, but I did read something about snow. The snow statement is correct, but only if you're using a very very cheap LiDAR unit...

There are many units that shoot more than just a beam of light instead of the usual typical laser pointer (single beam), and shoot in the range of +150,000 pulses per second.

That being said, unless you're shooting something 5 kms away during a Blizzard, you're always going to get a shot using LiDAR.

Took my 5 year old daughter to lunch at Subway on it

Careful, you might create a monster as I have with mine...lol Last weekend we did over 200 miles with lunch in the middle somewhere... but she is a little older..

Finally picked up a carb sync gauge and synced the carbs on my '85 pop-up Kat. Much better. Smoother idle, jumps off idle when you twist the throttle. Weather sucks, so I haven't road tested it yet.

Took my 2nd to last exam for my Bachelor's program. Got home and had to take her out for a ride. No destination, just enjoyed the wind noise (can't say "wind in my face" because I wear my gear) lol. Also started thinking of alternatives on how to mount my SS2-R can! Grrrrr!
