anybody have a radar detector on there bike almost got bagged today can't afford a ticket whats the best one for my ultra.

 

Best is probably Escort Passport 9500ix. Exactly how much above speed limit are you going?

 

I use the HD radar detector. It is made by Escort. It works very well. Saved me many a ticket.

A radar detector alone will not stop a ticket.
Laser and instant on can trap you if you are alone on the road or ahead of traffic.
I use one in my car but consider it more of a reminder.

 

Radar is almost nonexistent anymore. A laser won't show up on a detector until it is too late. Laser is target specific and is off until you are in the crosshairs of the laser gun. Once that happens, your little detector will go off. Unfortunately, it would be too late. Some older towns still use old fashioned radar. That is a wide range radar signal that gives off a FM signal that a detector might pick up. Radar also has the option of instant on and off. If this is the case, once you are visible by the officer, he will turn on the radar.....again too late.

 

This site has a lot of good info and you can email "Radar Roy" with any questions. Has a lot of reviews for motorcycle radar detectors

If you can't afford a ticket, you probably can't afford the technology that can truly help in avoiding detection. Set your cruise at 4 or 5 mph over and you won't get jacked with. You can have someone run blocker for you but with your mirror vibrating at 80 mph+ will you see the cop coming up from behind you?

 

Mike Valentine One or Escort/Passport....ONLY. ALL OTHERS are rubbish. ie) Bel, Cobra, Whistler, whoever.

 

If the sign says 55, ride 55.

If the sign says 65, ride 65.

If the sign says 75, ride 75.

You won't get a ticket.
