Went to Atlantic City this weekend through about 6 tolls. Had my wife hold it up when going through and had one instance when it didn't read. Wish there was a better way without having it visible.

on the trip down the gf was on the back, and i had my ez pass in my chest pocket of my flannel.
she'd just reach around, pull it out of the pocket, hold it up on top of my head, and then hug me again to put it back.
she rode home with my sister in the cage, though, and what a f*cking adventure i had on the ride back.
dropped it on the approach to the first toll, then at all of hte express ez pass lanes, i'd get thru just fine, but once i got thru and got back up to 75 mph, i had a motherf*cker of a time finding my pocket while looking at the road.

haha yeah I was trying to think how to recover it if she dropped it. I was down there last July and I swear I parked in a hotel parking garage for free. This year the best I could find was the Tropicana $5 with players card so I signed up for one.

as far as parking...i stayed at the trump taj mahal and when i pulled up to the entrance to drop my girlfriend off to check in while i parked, one of the bellhops walks up to me and starts talkin shop, then tells me about the motorcycle only (!) parking section in the garage.
i say no ****? he goes yeah you'll see my heritage in there, pull up right next to me, it's blocked off by sawhorses and there's a camera directly overhead.
sound good yet? oh it gets better.
some of the guys in the garage hear the bike from the little shop/maintenance room and come walking out. this guy carl is looking my bike over as i'm getting off and shutting it down and HE starts talking shop with me and tells me he didn't ride today bc he's working the overnight etc etc etc and i hand him 20 bucks and ask him if he wouldn't mind checking on the bike whenever he gets a chance and he says sure no problem.
talk about peace of mind.

I never could the get the EZ-Pass unit to work on my bike in NJ. I tried everything; in the bags, in my jacket, in my handlebar bag. They even overcharged me when it did not read, etc. I now have a little mesh bag, made for EZ Pass, that I got off of ebay. Here is a link to the company's product -- http://www.meshproducts.net/eztoll/. When I first got this I strapped it under my headlight and that did not work either. It is now strapped to the right of the Speedo on my handle bars. Works flawlessly every time for more then 2 years now.
any photos of this installed?

Installed maybe an over statement. It's actually attached to the handlebars...

I put mine in my HD leather fork bag and have never had a problem. I've gone over the bridges and used it on the turnpike and garden state. if the signal can go through the windshield/metal roof it should go through 1/8th inch leather.
