Steve Butters Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 they do work supposedly...you can buy magnets at any motorcycle shop for this purposei always just centered my bike directly on top of the wire, not inbetween them...triggered the lights just fine doing it that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStump Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 ha, i wave cars to pull up on my ass at lights which confuses the crap out of them cuz they have no clue how a traffic light works and they just think i wanna talk to them lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-bus Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 If it's lagging, I'll put it in neutral and put the kickstand down on the line. Seems to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWing'R Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Funny, I've never had a problem tripping a "green" light, now the "red" ones can be a bitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hue jass Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I have tons of harddrive magnets if someone wants to try.That's not bad, I've got some too. I bought some disk shaped super magnets to attach speaker grills. They're so strong that if I try to pull the grill off, I'll basically destroy it:wtf: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 too much work asking a car to pull up...i look both ways for the 5-0 and then i just go...hell, i even do that if im in my truck ...i cant be bothered with red lights in the middle of the night when nobody is out...i go to work between 1am and 3am and i run quite a few red lights if theres nobody around....especially out in the pataskala area coming home late from my girls...there really needs to be a better setup, where more lights go to flashing red and flashing yellow after a certain time...nothing is more irritating than sitting at a long red light when no other cars are even coming to use the green light lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I worked in Indy there was about 4 lights that should've been blinking when I left at 4am. It was almost a given that these were always red and always seemed to last forever until they turned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStump Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 yeah, i thought it was weight too at first and would bounce up and down on the bike trying to get it to trip lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 agreed! When I worked in Indy there was about 4 lights that should've been blinking when I left at 4am. It was almost a given that these were always red and always seemed to last forever until they turnedi go through about 12 lights every mornings and like 4 of them turn to flashing lights when really, about 9 of them should be flashing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 ha, i wave cars to pull up on my ass at lights which confuses the crap out of them cuz they have no clue how a traffic light works and they just think i wanna talk to them lolI've done that, and the drivers always think I'm road-raging them... If I'm sat at a red for more and 3 minutes, or the ligths cycle but miss me, then I'll pull up last that rectangle cut in the road for the sensor, then turn around and beckonthe car behind me closer, pointing at the sensor loop.99% of people look at me like "IT'S A TRAP!" and the last 1% will flip me off because they think I'm complaining about them being too close. I need a "My bike won't trip the red light sensor" sign I can hold up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
