Wow. Just got a warning from a friend i knew from jack in the box, i was going 70 in a 65. turning off the next road about a mile out.
Ok so i see this older cop car, looked decommissioned. 1993 year? Really old.. I started going pass him, then i see on his dash some tools. At the time my radar detector was picking up a radio signal, the big "X" llit up, because it heard somefrequincy****.
Anyways i stopped for a min, then i thought about it, so i just started accelerating, 1/2 mile left turned on the street to gas station, see a BIG red light where the center rearview mirror was, then the spot light uncurling on the right side. Ooooh boy. I knew him for bout a year or two, but still. We talked.
He says "ooh yeah thats why we bought this older decommed car for undercover," i mean i've seen a new stratus? but its easily idtfd.
"Oh yeah the reason why your detector was going off like crazy is becuz i was right behind you. didn't know it, usually i have a radar in the rear windw

I have never once stopped someone for less than 10 mph over the limit. There are areas where I try to keep it to 15+ becuase of the volume.

Drive the speed limit? I can't believe that most places are going to bother you with an unmarked for 5 mph over the speed limit. That is so below the norm for traffic guys, it's amazing.
There were some areas I gave people 13 mph over the speed limit before I stopped them just because of the volume of speeders. I never stopped anyone for less than 8 over the posted speed unless the roads were totally iced over and it was dangerous to go even the speed limit.
I think you need to worry more about other drivers if you are on a motorcycle than cops. Believe me I know I was hit on a black &white Kawasaki 1000 Police in uniform. If they don't see a 6 foot motorcycle cop, white helmet, etc. they aren't going to see you on a little Yamaha.
Get your priorities straight and arrive alive.

Save your money as far as the radar is concerned! Seriously, I've estimated, read and locked you on radar by the time you can react to that thing. It's way to late.

do not speed, obviously, and I doubt you were only doing 5 over..but hey i am not a judge so i do not care, also the time your radar detector goes off and you react they already have your speed

sounds like a good idea, you might want to also find a park or somewhere there is a fence or wall, in your city or town, that has a gap only a bike can fit through. Just in case you need to get rid of any vehicle/vehicles following/chasing you.

Mount it on the front dash by the speedometer and dont forget to remove it when you park your bike.
