mloakley Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Supposedly, this little gizmo attaches to your bike and lets the trip sensor know you're waiting. Link to Ebay item Anyone ever used one? It sounds JUST plausible enough, but barely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgels Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 There is no explanation of how it works, which leads me to believe that it's fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy1647545504 Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 I heard that it is for that very reason, that Ohio has ammmended the law as it applies to motorcycles. I heard that in some situations, ie: motorcycle first in line at a stoplight with no other vehicles nearby, that it would be admissable for the motorcycle to treat the light as he would a regular stop sign. Any truth to that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 not sure on the law. mark might know As far as triping the light: most stoplights are magneticly activated (the mass of metal frame in a car creates a magnetic field that the sensor uner the pavement picks up. motorcycles lack in this large quanity of metal, and as such dont trip lights. i would assume that this device emils a magnetic field that will trip the light. on a side note, any mass of metal on earth emits a signature or patern as it passes through the earths magnetic field. The russians knew this, and aplied a countermasure to its destroyers in its naval fleet by placing magnetic coils in them to "erase" this signature, making them harder to find.
