Since no replies are allowed on the Police bike radar topic, I'll start my own.
Now here's a panel to covet!!

I wonder whether it's integrated into their speedo system the way the car ones are, so that it can be used on the move, compensating for the Police bike's speed.

The FJR has lots of nice brackets from the factory for mounting those sort of things. I read an article recently, may have been in Queensland, that police and others have moved over to encrypted channels so scanners won't pick up emergency services traffic.

Biggles, I can understand why replies were barred given the extraordinary allegations made in the post.
"...fine constabulary who are people just doing their job and some of our members!" :fp

It also means that any bike with things up the front will be seen as a police bike with radar. I though going from the white ST1100 to a blue Trophy might reduce this, but still the same - I suppose lights, aerials and such with a white helmet are what motorists are looking for.

It's about to be shown on Chanel 7 news

I'm experiencing that too. I think if I put some appropriately coloured cellophane on my driving lights I'd have them pulling over for me. And I'd get unwelcome interviews with candy coloured vehicle occupants and riders.

I don't see any problem with radar fitted to police bikes.
But then, my last speeding ticket was 49 years ago, and that was related to a pushbike, downhill, in an 80 k zone
-
Snap. My first motorcycle offence was in Brisbane also 49 years ago.
No money changed hands though because in those days one could elect to attend a road safety lecture at night in lieu of a fine.

I was only earning $20 a week as a 3rd year apprentice, and was fined $23 plus court costs.($12)

I'd agree with the fine if you're exceeding 80 kph on a pushie. :eek
If it slowed you down it might have done you a huge favour!

Kev,
Young people today do not realise just how keen we were to get to work on time in the old days, even if it meant getting a ticket riding a pushbike.
