~~~Official Speed Trap Locator Thread~~~

[Scottish]

I just remembered that we NEED this thread. Anyway same as before on TOB but I haven't heard anything about cop talk being taboo at this point. I think they just want everything to stay civil.
Anywhoooooo, on to the important stuff. If anyone is heading up north, I heard the  are targeting motorcycles on Hwy36, apparrently there have been a lot of  complaints of motorcycles speeding excessively through there. Once again showing that squids make it harder for all of us. As well I'm sure everyone knows by now, but reminders never hurt, Hwy115 between Colorado Springs and Canon City, and Hwy24 between Colorado Springs and Woodland Park, are all being heavily monitored. Watch you're six's and keep the shiny side up!

"According to the National Motorists Association, Colorado Springs is ranked No. 2 in a list of the top ten speed trap cities in America."

I have not tried it, but it looks good..and maybe if we can spread the word about it and get more people using it, it would help. Maybe post on other Motorcycle boards that we all use....
