RE: E-Z Pass questions

Just curious as to a few questions:
1) who uses an EZ pass on their scoots?
2) I know it has been discussed before, but where do you folks all attach it on a batwing bagger?
3) Is it worth having for someone who doesn't use it daily like commuting to work, but just for the fact of hating to have to stop and dig for money on a bike when they do happen to come upon a toll?
4) anything else you might have to offer?

2 My tag is mounted under my fairing about 4" down from the top directly over my radio.
3.Yes, absolutely. I breeze thru the E-ZPass at 20-25mph. It's freakin' great.
4.Your tolls are discounted in the state that you purchased your transponder from, at least they are for me when I use it in NH. I have the NH one, so my tolls in NH are discounted 30%. It works on all the E-Z Pass system on the atlantic seaboard at full toll price. I have 3, one for each vehicle and my scoot. It even covers me when I tow my boat or m/c trailer.
My transponder is directly below the eagle on my fairing. I love the looks on the tolltakers face when I breeze right thru and they see that I am not going to slow down to pay.
My account starts with $30. charged to my credit card. Any toll that I go thru in any E-ZPass state gets charged to my NH account and the toll is deducted from my $30. balance. When my account dips below $10. E-Z pass charges my credit card another $20. plus to bring my account back up to $30.. It's slick.Why NJ?

Here's a little trick that my buddy's use with there EZ passes. If your out riding and one guy doesn't have it, ride through the toll side by side. The green light comes on every time. With just one toll.

EZ Pass is great
You get a Motorcycle rate in whatever state it is used in.
It was developed in concert with the US Government and works in every toll with readers no matter what they call their device. I've used it from Maine to Georgia and from the East Coast to South Dakota with no compatability problems.
I think it makes toll plazas safer for bikers as the road surface is much cleaner than it was when everyone was stopping to pay the toll and dripping oil in the center of the lane.
