Oh BU66ER !!! Are you sure they haven't got it wrong mate? MCN have been wittering on about how dodgy speed cameras are on bikes - nabbing them at the wrong speed etc.

Even a 996 can't go from 0-40 in 5 metres. You sure it wasn't a car that set it off and just clocked you as well?

If it's only 5 metres from the garage, how about going past the camera on your back wheel next time, at least your number plate will be facing the ground

Stupid jump light cameras that also double up as speed cameras.
