[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 737069, member: 3828"] I've been following your thread as I would love to get my RD (Escort Passport, same as yours) out of the weather and away from prying eyes. But one piece of your latest test makes me think that there is still a small advantage to having the RD up in the open on the powerplate. You said that you got LIDAR warning pretty long before the gun was able to report a speed. This has happened to me in the past, where I got a Laser alert and then saw the cop in the median ahead shooting traffic. I was in the fast lane and doing well over the speed limit (20 over at least) at the time but was able to slow down and didn't get the performance award. I chalked it up to good karma, but your explanation that it is hard to target an oncoming bike fits that scenario perfectly. Since the LIDAR unit has to be stationary, the biggest likelihood is that you would be riding toward the unit and being targeted from ahead. To target your back side, you would have already had to ride past the stationary unit. This seems to be the biggest positive testimony for Laser detectors on a bike ever. [/QUOTE]
