TOP QUOTE: “The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.”
Why I'm now considering one...
Always relied on No1 eyeball and that 'I think there may be a cop about' itch.
Having ridden 30 years got my second speeding ticket within 4 years a few days ago. Same way twice, stuck behind a car doing 90 in the outside lane with even slower truck on the inside - finally it pulls in and I open it up to get past both before the two lane section ends - police car parked up that was hidden behind the truck. First ticket was for 106 (bit mean I thought:-)) but this one was for 122 and that's painful.
So my hope is that I'll just get a warning from the detector next time and put up with being behind Mr Slow until the next opportunity to pass.
That's exactly why I like using a radar detector. A couple of seconds on the throttle to pass a bit of slow traffic can certainly get you in trouble if a cop happens to be coming around the next corner. A radar detector can alert you there is a cop around that next corner so you hang fire. They're not going to save your licence if you choose to cruise at 150kph all day long.
Hastings porkers have a silver cruze with discod behind the grill. I have been pulled over by a gunmetsl grey ve z series wagon with discos mounted on a stalk at the side of the windowsreen, driven by one of the stars of roadcops. No additional tax was paid, and they (a chick cop also) were techno phobic in using their ipad.
Don't call me a troll just because you disagree with me. Check your definition of a troll "An internet 'troll' is an abusive or obnoxious user who uses shock value to promote arguments and disharmony in online communities" Don't think I've done that. Just presented a different perspective in what I thought was a polite and reasoned manner. You don't have to agree with what I've said.
I am. I'm just offering a different perpective.
Every time I park my arse on the seat! (Oh, and some tomfoolery involving garden gnomes when I was a teenager).
OK. I've played Devil's Advocate long enough. I'll leave you boys to your conversation.

Ok, Looking hard at a Beltronics STI Magnum. Any thoughts on this for motorcycle use?
I like Harleys, It's just that they get in the way sometimes
Apparently a great detector, although I recall said mate saying the audio was very quiet on his STI and used an amplifier or something like that to boost the sound. The RX 65 has no such issues.
Just a note........ I am talking about six years ago. I'm sure they would have fixed that small issue. But I would check it out first before handing over money.

I don't go anywhere without mine. I have a older Belltronics 970. Had it for 10 years. I have not been caught speeding since I brought it. Before this I used to get a road tax cytation about once a year.
It has paid for itself 10 times over easily. It has detected rozza up to 12 km away. It works like this, it starts to churp I check my speed, QED. Just for peace of mind they are a good investment.
The rozza don't like them but they certanly even up the playing field.
If you never speed you dont need one, if you ever do speed you do.
Just another leather clad Tinkerbell.
