    radar detector for Fz6 :) who has one

    For what it's worth here is a picture of mine it aint pretty, it's placed up forward to protect it from getting wet, I had to glue a jack adaptor so it won't vibrate off and it's velcroed to the mount, but it works really good and has saved me several tickets. It's a Cobra 12 band radar/laser...

    Off duty cop chased me

    Take it to court, demand the chief be there with his documentation that his POV has been calibrated to police and state standards. If it were me, I would not have stoped but just kept going, if he tried to follow me I would have out ran him in self defense. Please put up a post to keep us all...

    Atkins Diet Anyone?

    My wife and I did the Atkins thing a number of years ago. I lost 27 lbs and wife lost 75 lbs. Its hard to do but the weight will drop off. BUT you have to change your eating habits forever or the weight will come back. The first two weeks are the hardest. Good Luck. Doc

    Arrogant Harley Rider

    I'd have to say for me that about 20% of Harley riders won't wave back, But then again I don't wave at scooters unless they wave first. Doc

    Heated vest and headlight mod??

    I have. See my reply in the other post. I have been running a Gerbings jacket liner with BD's mod for two years w/o a prob. I also use a battery tender to keep my batt fully charged. I just finished installing a Autocom to use with my GPS, radar detector, and sat radio. I use these when I'm on...

    headlight mod and heated vest

    I have. Haven't noticed any real dfference in the charging. I do however when I get close to home I turn off my jacket and turn the high beam off. If I'm at a stop light, I just hold the bike without the brake unless I'm starting off at a incline. I have done this for two years and I'm still on...

    First ticket of the season..... hmm RCMP go tazer someone.....

    From what you said that he got you 10km back, that's about 6 miles. It should not have taken that distance to pull a u-turn to come and get you. If he lost sight of you it sounds like he just pulled over the easiest target. Good luck in court. Doc

    Fight it. Look on the ticket what violation is listed. Printed it out Next bring in to court pic's of other bikes on show room floor to show the judge this is acceptable OEM equipment. I find it hard to believe that the popo can just write you a ticket for what is standard equipment. If the...

    Best GPS, Mount & Wiring Set Up

    I bought a used Garmin 2730 Street Pilot for $35.00, it came with everything except the expensive Gmx 30 antenna. It had a half of a ram mount so I bought the other half. I also downloaded the upgraded sotfware and it works great. The 2730 is motorcycle compatiable and comes with a mp3 player...
