He needs to work a bit on the rockets. It doesn't look like they fly straight for very long and one of them almost took him out.

I like this idea better for dealing with speed cameras and thing:

Yeh mate I saw someone selling them a while back. Could also (thoretically) save you from paying on any toll roads. Of course we would only use such a device on a track day...

About 5-6 years ago, company that sells bike bits came out with a "Stealth Plate", license plate holder that was rigged up with a switch on the bars. Once turned on, it would gray over the plate. Only took a few riders to get pulled over because they kept it on permanently (or forgot to turn it off) before they where banned here.

There is also a spry you can get (which is a "clear coat", but you need to also have a perspex license plate cover, it's supposed to obscure part of the plate when the flash goes off. Since we (in Australia) get plenty of warning about fixed cameras, pretty much a waste of time, just slow down. Also a lot of our state cameras take the pic from the front, so no front plate.

Think Mythbusters took on the plate obscuring sprays and covers. Found that 0 worked unless it completely obscured the plate at all times.

Edit:
It was Episode #73. And 2 things did work: Plate flipper & a falcon setting off the speed sensor. Got a spare falcon and cage to mount on the upper cowl?

reflective tape does nothing

if it's a toll booth just ride on the white line in between the lanes and the camera wont even go off..

or mount your plate farther under your tail, or on your swingarm and cover it with your foot

:P
