false laser readings on the V1......
im out on a 150 mile twisty ride last week and my V1 goes nuts telling me that i am being lasered. i look and no cops anywhere. i keep going, 10 seconds bleeep bleep bleep, another laser reading, i look and no cops. 20 minutes later same thing again. i was doing around 100mph all 3 times so had there of been a cop i surely would have seen one and probably would have gotten a ticket.
anyopne else have false laser detections with the V1?
btw, i love my V1 and would never ride without it, but the falsies are giving me a heart attack.

No problems here, either. Does it work properly and with pretty good range with the various radar bands (K, Ka & X)? You might want to give the folks at Valentine a call. They seemed pretty helpful when I called.

i called V1,
they said that false lasers occur near airports due to the overload in microwave activity. i was neas a very small local airport at the time but only laser went off, not x, k , or ka. they also said that certain cars taillights can cause this, i think they mentioned trailblazers.

Well a real laser couldn't hit yours where it is mounted right now anyway Sherm. If it did indicate a laser hit I'd suggest you find a soft place to land because your bike is about to explode.

my v-1 has falsed when using a remote control device around it, as well as my digital camera, but mine stays mounted inside my vehicle.

I have received the false laser warning too. It has occurred near a couple of smaller airports. in Oregon and Idaho. Both located near the freeway. Scares the hell of you!!

like a shrill of death still resonating in my brain cavity. i have nightmares about the damn sound. i think i need some therapy to deal with it properly. i call it SFLS (syphillis) sudden false laser syndrome.

Perhaps you can get some money from the government for your disability. The incident has probably caused or will cause you a lifetime of nightmares and trauma. Maybe there is a class action lawsuit here. You won't need a group buy you'll need group therapy and a bigger shop to hold all of the new toys!!
