    Have an STI Driver. Bought it off Ebay and landed for half the price it is sold for in NZ. However, they are only an aid as others have said only at their best when Plod is permanently switched on. I am always very carefull when there is not much traffic arround other wise brilliant. Never let me down!

    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    Was. I haven't been able to get hold of the old clickety-clickety keyboards for ages - so I am afraid I don't get the sexual satisfaction from the sound of my own typing that I used to.

    I am merely observing a slight inconsistency here... No reason to get fidgety just because I am correct.

    You should be pleased then - I, amongst others, told you that you are looking for the Beltronics STi, that was quite a few pages back actually.

    Not until the age of 44 I didn't - and once on my bike almost none of them would know who it was yet I don't get stopped.

    Most of my riding is outside my area so I'm just another dude on a bike...

    You just can't beat a proper clicketykeyboard.

    No reason to get fidgety just because you weren't able to show at the time that my inconsistent position was actually invalid, either.

    I,ve got an escort 8500 with screamer, and have never looked back.You need to keep your eye,s open for the baddies tho.... knock on wood no more tickets so far! Unfortunately the filth seem very underhanded when issueing tickets, hence the need for detectors.
    I have only had a few false alerts with the 8500, it seems to be a very good unit.

    Are you suggesting I've been riding since the age of 4??




    Or how does your comment have any relevance to mine??

    But I'm still not sure about the '40 years ago nobody got stopped' comment...since I was not driving, riding or even holding a licence back then.

    And boring old man I may be (didn't know character showed so much on the internet) but I've saved tons of money not getting tickets and not buying frivolities like detectors...

    Now, if my disposition is that there are no right and wrong - then it would be counterproductive of me to try and prove that your position was invalid, wouldn't it.

    However, hypocrisy and double-standards deserves to be noted and commented upon at every mention.

    You're a clever guy mate - I'm sure that somehow you'd find a way to manage.

    It's really real! There was a review on /. recently.

    I never accused you of nihilism.

    That is awesome! I noticed there was no "ergonomic" version btw

    How would that be an accusation? Anyway, I sure hope that isn't what it boils down to though. There are days where it feels like it though...

    Hope floats - at least so I've heard.

    As long as your faith isn't sunk by my confidence it's all good.
