You guys should see the mount that Super has for a reverse angle...shooting from the back. That mount made it's debute at the GAP and you will see TONS of footage from it!

I asked Twisty this same question before. He said that his mount they use was like custom made by one of the WOS guys. I wanted to buy a Digital Camcorder so I can video what goes on also but I don't have the dough right now so that's on the back burner.! And a radar on a bike? Why? Isn't that just pointless? :2cents:

Yeah what :gary: would put a radar on a bike. Not the resident :whore: .....lol I just don't get it. By the time the radar goes off, you hear it, and the cop gets started moving, you could kick the bike up to like at least 125mph or better if you weren't doing that already. And any cop with a pea-sized brain or larger knows full-well that they won't stand a chance to catch up to you on the bike. And they can't put down spike strips, so that option is out. They won't block the road, that is out the door too. So what option do they have besides trying to see the plate and at like 100+ mph, I forsee that highly impossible.

Yeah what :gary: would put a radar on a bike. Not the resident :whore: .....lol Yeah I have one and like it! It is only there as a tool and has helped me many times. That way I know if the cop got me at 130 so I can start going faster. More like 175 or somin... Here's a pic! http://www.twowheelforum.com/photopost/data/500/28Scotts2-med.JPG

Most people try to slow down when it goes off, I just wouldn't understand why you'd do that on a bike. :scratch: But I do like the GPR Stabilizer, I was thinkin' red or black for mine.

Hehe, Graffix, youve been ridin like 2 weeks. You BETTER just pull over if you see the red and blue lights. Dont try and outrun them. Vegas odds say you will lose, badly.

And I didn't even "run". It was more like they didn't even give chase. I won't run from the cops, that's a NO NO. I respect the law, especially here being less than 6 miles from the border!

POD is right... I will try to slow down if it's going off but alot of the times it goes laser or somin when I'm haulin down the e-way. Then I look for the cop and if he's trying to move...I get movin a bit more...

I respect the law, especially here being less than 6 miles from the border! If you truely "run" then you better be damn sure you can get away, odds are not in your favor with radios these days. I got tagged at 131, cop thought I had fled with another bike (unknown), however as he was exiting to turn around he noticed my tailight (I was coasting down). I never saw him until the red/ blue turned on and he was riding up my ass. Immediately pulled over, and long story short, officer was cool as hell and in court let me go with fine and 0 points! Had I fled more than likely down the road several cops would have been watching/ waiting, and I would be some dud named Bubba's bitch! Talk all the **** one wants, but push comes to shove your not gonna run, and if you do ya better be one hell of a rider.

Yeah I would suggest that if you're not good at high speeds and able to re-act fast to moving cars that you should not run. Also, if you don't know where you're going or know the highway you're on... no go. Furthermore, don't try it on surface streets... too many intersections! I remember you telling me about this Ace.... :whistle:

Also, at least here in MI, cops WILL use a road block to stop you. There was a big article in the LCP (local paper) a few years ago about a guy who cut through a 1.5 foot gap at 180 mph between the cop car road block and the median wall on I-96. It's on a guy I know's wall, and he has the rest of the story to tell with it too. Lucky he's still around!

Hey gas man did you read the 14 fastest bikes article in Perfomance Bikes (June). Fastest on their course that is, but your ZX12 came in #2, behind only the 05 GSXR 1000.

But I do like the GPR Stabilizer, I was thinkin' red or black for mine. That's a Scotts stabilizer...and it looks like it's mounted backwards. :scratch:

Gas Man
06-17-2005, 07:48 AM
Yeah it is a scotts and it is only mounted backwards if yours is backwards! Read the letters...it's mounted forward. However, I know that Super's is mounted in reverse direction. It doesn't matter either way, it works. That is the way mine is designed to be mounted.

Factory clip ons! And that pic is old and prior to the new gauges...FYI Why do you ask? I was looking into possibly raising my clip-ons slightly on my 7R. The bars are under the upper triple and I have been experiencing (off and on) a slight sting in the upper left of my back (under the shoulder). WTF, aches and pains at 31!!!!
