    Trip routing change

    www.frontsight.com offers a 2- or 4-day handgun course and a one day CCW course that's good for Nevada, Arizona, and Utah. Don't let the prices scare you, get on ebay and look for a Front Sight lifetime membership. If you don't see one, message the sellers of Front Sight courses. You'll probably...

    JUST GOT A TICKET FOR USING THE CELL PHONE!

    The driver was an airhead, at best, with previous convictions, and, thought she committed three felonies, whas charged with a misdemeanor. Yep, let the person off with a slap on the wrist, and "arrest" the phone, gun, whatever. THAT'LL teach 'em! Oh, yeah... The article mentioned SPEED as one...

    JUST GOT A TICKET FOR USING THE CELL PHONE!

    Are you for gun control, too? The same logic applies... How many "average" drivers have driven many, many thousands of miles while routinely operating radios, gps receivers, tape players, cd players, and, yes, wireless phones WITHOUT accident/incident?

    Pulled over by CSI

    That's entirely fair. Just a little Generation Gap. <_< When I was working on them, all of the radars were portable. The only connection to the car was power. And before Ka band, they were lucky to be same-ROAD units. :) Yeah, how often have we said THAT? Thanks for the...

    Pulled over by CSI

    Yes, I did, in fact, work for the Washington State Patrol. For over 13 years I was one of the technicians responsible for maintaining and repairing their radars. (And testifying in court cases. I never lost a case.) That period of time included the decade of the 80's, while you were still in...

    Pulled over by CSI

    I don't know how it is now, but some years ago all of the police cars in Washington state had speedometers marked "CERTIFIED." Troopers were required to periodically check the speedometers using the "patrol car" window of a moving radar against the speedometer every 5 mph through a wide range...

    Washington's Finest On Patrol

    What'd you get tagged for? Speed? Sounds like the current version of the old 55 team - also known as "the rolling speed bumps."

    SPOT services and SPOT-1 Vs. SPOT-2.

    I want the Spot Connect. If you have a non-emergency type problem, you can tell the folks what tools and parts to bring.

    Aux. lights and GPS/iPod/iPhone cut out when Aux. lights turned on

    My thought would be that the Escort is reacting to the momentary voltage drop when the lights are turned on. Try it with the Escort off and/or disconnected from the override. If the override works okay that way, you could try connecting the Escort directly to the battery (using an inline fuse...

    Approves Bill Allowing Motorcycles to Run Red Lights

    Most places that can get you an award for "bypassing" (I don't remember the exact wording) a traffic control device and/or an illegal "U" turn.

    russell seat color for 07 (maroon)

    It's gray over "charcoal." I like the way it turned out, both in looks and comfort. (I left the back seat stock because I don't have a regular back-seater - my wife rides her own.)

    No, thanks! I had enough fun holding a constant throttle from 2,000 to something over 6,000 rpm - testing the pussycat below 5k, tiger above description...
