What brand of radar detector are you using? Also what features does your particular radar detector have and how well does it work? I am looking to purchase one for a long trip that I'm going to do this summer. Thank you
I have used Escort in the past. Got tired of monitoring it. Plus a close friend is a local sheriff.....trainer for radar and lidar and ECT ECT. They have developed speed detectors that will always get you......they can track multiple on coming vehicles....and the speed difference between them. I gave up trying to beat them. Lost too many times.....:cop2: .plus at over half a century old.....ya get smarter.What brand of radar detector are you using?

This is correct. My Valentine One has saved me from many a ticket over the years, but now it's basically a $300 noisemaker.I've read now that the new cars with their ability to detect if you're coming too close to another vehicle (or straying out of the lane?) will also set them off.

Honestly my experience is even more profound: If you're not doing something 'blatant', the cops tend to leave riders alone. At least here in good ole' Pennsyltucky.A cop told me anyone who wears Hi-Vis on a Motorcycle is usually a safety conscious older guy...They tend to leave you alone unless your really cooking along
+1. I had a radar detector years ago because I thought the lights and alerts were pretty neat. But a lot of stores' door openers and who knows what would give me false alerts.These days , I just go with the flow , so I am not the wart on the butt of progress , hopefully somewhere in the center of the pack .
Otherwise try not to go more than 5 -over , if alone .
That's why if you are going to have one, you bury it in an 'unseen' location. I run Escort Passport 8500s into my comm system on all of my ST1100S and they have saved my bacon more times than I can count - especially on backroads. However on the slab, the laser detection just tells you whether you're probably fixin' to get a ticket ...I can see it now... I'm pulled over for speeding. The trooper walks up and sees the radar detector. It is red after all. Hard to hide. So he asks me what that is and I say, "Oh...that's just a toy. I bought it really cheap on eBay." And he replies, "Well, I was only going to give you a warning, but now with that "toy", you'll be getting a ticket. I guess it wasn't so cheap after all, was it?"
