strapped it to the top of my 1965 VW bus and ran it up & down Highway
395 to see how it worked. Which was good, except for that nice man from the
California Highway Patrol... who eventually let me off with a warning.

I can just _imagine_ that conversation!

Has to rival one I had when I went through a radar speed trap at an
excessive speed, _on_a_bicycle_. Long, *long*, time ago -- and, at that
time, in that place, the speed limit statutes applied to *motor* vehicles
only. It was apparently a slow afternoon for law-enforcement, and fairly
shortly there was a 'committee meeting' of what seemed to be _most_ of
the cops for that side of town. _Spirited_ discussion regarding what *could*
I be cited for, if they were of a mind to do so. Even 'reckless driving'
turned out to be a 'motor vehicle'(only) offense. Something like 30 minutes
later, with more than a dozen officers 'on scene', including 2 sargents,
and a lieutenant, nobody had been able to find anything that 'fit the crime'.
Note: I'd been 'free to go' since shortly after the 1st additional officer
showed up on the scene, but it the whole thing was _good_ entertainment, so
I stuck around to watch the show. grin



Well, if you were free to go, and you stuck around, why were you going so fast to begin with?
