I should have bought the radar detector

[BlackOakTree]

Two weeks ago I was comtemplating purchasing one, and I decided what good would it do.

Ironically after leaving a meeting where one of the topics was traffic calming and how people speed along this stretch of road, I got a ticket there not more than 30 minutes after biting my tongue listening to people complain about the speeders. It's marked 45 mph, I typically hit it around 80.

They didn't even cut me a break, I was ONLY 17 over this time. No wonder my insurance goes up each year.

huh, funny you should mention that- we just covered Irony in engl405 tonight! :hammer: Nuts to that man...

I've always considered detectors cheap insurance but where do people put them on Speedy? Plus, nobody I know makes a weatherproof model. Hmmm, that might be a good business plan, sell weatherized Valentine 1 & Escort detectors.

Dont feel bad man. My last ticket was 25 over, and he was being nice with that.

I have a tank bag (for the Speedy) and have used it for detectors with an ear plug accessory-simple safe and no one can see it(cops). not aproblem on the Speedy cuz it is so fast no cops around here even fool with me. (HA HA) The State guys are concentrated in several areas on the interstates I 20 and I 65, and seem to be doing major speed traps out there with LASER. I do not ride the big roads much so I just have to watch out for the local smokeys. Just take it easy. In Valentine we Trust!

Just guessing: You weren't on the bike.

This was just one place I found surfing online the other day. Escort radar detector mounted to the handlebars, connected to the accessory power cable and the H.A.R.D. transmitter which sends a signal to a receiver mounted inside your helmet. Also a M20 X-Treme laser jammer with front and rear modules. Looks amazing but the whole setup costs big bucks, prob over $1,000 for all 3 pieces.

Now that is extreme.
