Got Busted for 100mph in a 55mph Zone Yesterday.....
Yep, I fucked up and pulled over thinking I'd get a little break. Knew a ticket was coming but figured "The Man" would knock a little off. Didn't happen, he was sporting major wood for me. The ticket states 100 in a 55, fuckin' my fault. Instinct was to check out, but being the model citizen I am, I yeilded to the flashing lights.  Shoulda ran, only about 7 mi. from the crib, had options as to which routes I coulda taken. I had a few reasons for not running, mainly cold roads and tires that shoulda been in the dumpster long ago. Lucky called me right after I got back home and we had a good laugh about it. He summed it up best when he told me you kinda gotta figure it's gonna happen every once and awhile, considering you've probably been let go a few dozen times. He was right, I've been lucky SEVERAL times. Still sucks to have to shell out the $$$$ for a ticket, but you play, you pay. Atleast Officer Fuckstick didn't nail me for wreckless driving, which he could have.
I need a goddamned radar detector, or a slower bike.

Hey... if ya cant afford it the Bel945im is every bit as good... *no tickets in 5 years of owning one* (knock on wood)...
other people may tell you otherwise as the are insane fanatics who must own stock in V1 or something, but trust me... the Bel is a solid reliable unit and it has saved my ass so many times I cant even say... it has an earpiece, or you can jack it into yer chatterbox, plus it can run off 2 double A's if ya dont wanna wire it in....
anyways... every time I say this internet morons blah blah about the V1, but my squeeky clean record speaks for the Bel's awesome performance....
now shuddup the rest of ya er I'll lock this thread and make ya all parking attendants

Bike....

I was on the bike Chris.
Yep fellas a radar detector is most definitely in my future. I was all set to get one last year when several other "issues" came to the surface. I like the V1, but I've read good (and bad) things about the Bel units. With my budget I may just have to mount a 40ch. CB on the 12 and rely on truckers and shit. Can you see it, me with and open face helmet tucked down behind the double bubble,...."Break one-nine, break one-nine...has anybody got their ears on"? "I need a smokey report,............come on". How cool would a mid 70s style 40ch. Midland look mounted right on top of the tank cover. I'd be pimpin' like a MF, no scratch that,....trend settin' like a MF. People would be sayin' "Damn Ninjaman's shit is OFF THE HOOK"!!! LMFAO!!!

Ninja, I use a chatter box with the g/f and myself, it allows me to off and run for a bit yet still know she is ok....alot of people have expressed their dissatisficattion with the chatterbox...i love mine, and with the auido extention cable I can plug in my radar detector and hear it when it goes off, or plug in my cd/mp3 player when I am just putting around. A few of my buddies down in the savannah area have them and it is cool as shit....and youa ll think there is big shit taling that goes on here....you should hear us when were are runnig around like a bunch of punk kids on the bikes.....the biggest downfall of the chatterbox is that it does give my helmet a bit of a shake over 120 mph.....just another alternative there brotha....Jim

I'm thinkin' I'll stick with the Midland. The "Pimp Effect" it will bring to the bike is just to much to pass up on. LMFAO!!!!

Just think.....
Just think of the fun you can have cussing out truckers.
Now that is fucking "Family Entertainment". Just start chanting "How 'bout ya Rubber Duck". Eventually some trucker will get sick of hearing you and fire you up. Then you can ask him how his long-dicked sister is doin'.
Cussing out truckers RULES!!!! No offense to any truckers who may be reading this. It's all in fun and you fuckers get a kick out of it too. Besides I know you get bored to death listenin' to that diesel hummin' all freakin' day & night.

btw folks, don't pay no attention to Mr Fish_Antler's opinion on radar detectors. he's got a sweeky clean records cause he's never broken 100kph in his life. and dont let him tell u otherwise!
seriously tho, what kinda price tag's on that unit fish? i'd really like a detector next year cause i cant afford no more tickets, but the v1 is just too damn much $$, plus i dotnt really like having to spend even more for the box to get an audio jack etc. maybe the bel is my best option.

Speeding is against the law. It is a bad thing to do. For your own safety, hand over all your speeding bikes to me now. It is the right thing to do. I never ever speed....much.

Money Making Idea
I've been running radar detectors in all my vehicles for years. They aren't fool proof, but they give you a fighting chance. I can't count the times my bird dog has saved me... That said, I've often thought of designing a radar detector that would fit in my helmet. With the antenas mounted outside on the top, and the speaker inside, it would be an unbeatable and undetectible solution to over zealous tax collectors.

...or a multi-function helmet that has all important info projected via a heads-up display on the face-shield ie. speed, tach, gear indicator, radar warning...and also have internal functions for bike-bike comm and mp3...eveything is so small these days it'll fit without bulging the helmet or weighing it down too much..man, that would be way cool....

OMG!!!!
The things I read on this forum!!! Otis you are right about us having Chatterboxes, it'd be INSANE!!!! Bart would be trying to talk up some dick all day. Fucking Chitown Goobersmooch.
Fellas a radar detector is definitely in the near future. I honestly doubt I'll be able to afford the V1. I would like to get the M-Stand and a decent detector. My way of thinking right now is anything beats not having shit. I can always upgrade when I get my nickels right. I need input on the best "Bang for the $$$$" radar detector. I don't give a fuck if it comes from Wal-Mart, if you have one and it works well chime in and help a brother out.

Ninjaman look at it this way, you stopped. It's going to cost a little money. If you decided not to stop you might have got away. But it might have ended up spending more money fixing your bike. Hell we have all gotten tickets. But I agree if you were cool enough to stop the guy could have knocked the speed down. And thats my professional opinion

SCREW that Midland piece of crap. Tram Diamond 60 is the ONLY WAY to go. You can do all kinds of tweaking with it's PLL and can bump up it's output well over 6w (before the liner of course). You'll need a good radio because trying to set up an antenna with a low SWR on a 12R will be a bitch. That is if you use anything besides a 102" whip (Ultra-Pimp).
As for detectors, how much is the ticket gonna cost? What's it gonna do to your insurance for the next three years? Now tell what you can afford. You get what you paid for.
As for fish's loyalty to BEL, that's just because BEL is a canook made piece of crap (I'm probably the moron he was talking about). I know, I've owned probably around a half dozen of 'em (bought most of them at Wally World). Including the 945im. Hell, I even had an original FuzzBuster back in the '70's (before fish was even driving).
I took me a long time to save up for my V1, but even when I installed it in my fairing BACKWARDS, it worked better then my BEL 945im (not counting the fact the remte display said they were BEHIND me!). V1 also has the best, fastest, most hassle free warranty repair service... BAR NONE(more details on BEL vs. V1 service in previous threads).
Like it's been said a thousand times before, a detector doesn't make you invensible, but if you want somethimg that will give you the best fighting chance, it's a V1. You could offer me a dozen BELs or one V1 and the choice would be too simple.
