I Got My Warning... Here's Yours!!

[dsartwell1]

living here in central pa if you stay off the major highways and interstates, which are boring anyway, i've gone weeks without seeing a cop of any kind. not to say they're not there. the locals use vascar because they aren't allowed to have radar. usually they will give you almost 15mph before they pull you over. if you see a white painted line across the road especially if there's another 100 feet or so further down the road, slow down. those are they're timing marks. good chance there's a local hiding nearby. also they use other marks. got it one time in a downpour. cop had a 2 liter soda bottle filled with water set up along the road as his mark.

Good primer on radars there Sarge....  I cant' quite bring myself to have a dirty enough bike to make a difference so guess I need to pay better attention.  Turns out the road in question for me was 55 mph... I really thought it was 60 and my best guess is that I was doing less that 15 mph over.  There's a real jump in ticket prices over that too.  One thing about Texas DPS.. they usually have moving vehicle radar that clocks BOTH directions - get ya comin' or goin'.

Yeah Sarge, thanks.  Good info!

Hey dsartwell1, where in Central PA are you?

[B12Teuton]

Duh!

I was thinking Laser when I was typing.


I'll see your 144 and raise you to 168

Of coarse this was not on public streets  

[dsartwell1]

Ilive in Millville, about 10 miles north of Bloomsburg. Roads here are pretty good except for deer and those damn buggys you always find in a blind corner or at the top of the hill. How about you?

[PitterB4]

Damn - you're way up there.  There's another member of the board up in Sayer.  You've got some nice roads up there.  I'm hoping to make a trip up that way on my bike some time this summer.  I'm in SE PA about 30 miles south of Lancaster (lots of buggies here, too)

(Sorry for the post hyjack)

[dsartwell1]

[CRASHER]

Great Dan.  Maybe we can set something up in the "Northeast" forum.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled post...

Does any one know if any of these nice high-tech motorcycle manufactures   is dong some work on a stealth bike? That would sure help!!!

[Red01]

Does this answer your question?

Dave Estok reported that the GSX-1300R was so aerodynamic that while top-speed testing for Bridgestone they had trouble getting a radar reading from the front, they could only read times from the rear as the rider passed by.

(Doesn't address laser though)

[EODSarge]

If I saw 168, I think I'd just have to rely on finding wreckage up the road... My 'Vic tops out at 132, despite the K&N and Diablo chip. They aren't the most aerodynamic cars in the world, especially with a light bar on top.

[longislandbandit99]

I don't worry about radars and lasers and whatever, if I get pulled over I have the "Get out of Jail" courtesy badge and PBA card.  It pays to have parents who are police officers.

Then as the cop drives off disgusted I do this now  

[EODSarge]

That won't always help you, depending on what you were doing to get stopped.
