Member Contributer dutchinterceptor Posted December 30, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted December 30, 2007 Thanks!! This thing looks like it's got some potential. Somewhat small, not terribly expensive, WATERPROOF, and there's even a wireless option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soichiro Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Thats a good looking unit, and cheaper than one speeding ticket. Built by motorcyclist for motorcyclist, :wheel: , I like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer NVR2L8 Posted December 30, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted December 30, 2007 I already use my Valentine 1 on my VFR, and I get my audio and visual alerts via a Radar Screamer and H.A.R.D. System. It works pretty good since I have the V1 mounted on the windscreen, and it's close enough to the headlight reflectors that I catch LASER scatter on the bike better than when it's mounted in my car. But getting everything to work together was a logistical and wiring nightmare... Anyway, I like that this product is geared solely for motorcyclists, but I would have to see it tested against some of the best detectors on the market today before I would buy one.

Headhunter Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I need a radar in the worst way. I've alreay had my free warning this year. 70 in a 45. Salesman of the year contender. Luckily it was a motorcycle cop or I would have been toast. Tax Refund time for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would buy it if it compared well with a V-1 or newer Escort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer didit Posted January 18, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted January 18, 2008 I too am very interested in purchasing a detector this year. As I use an MP3 player when on longer rides, wondering how the wireless 'in helmet beeper' would work with earphones in? I know they offer a visual LED warning, but but but, well I don't know, just . . . . someone else buy it and let us all know. Still have 3+ months before riding season here. Group buy? I'd be in for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Group buy? I'd be in for that. Over at pashnit.com they are having a group buy for this radar detector. Maybe we can get in on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I am guilty as anyone for speeding and not a little bit, I mean flat out fast. Not on city streets but hit the open road and I'm just a blur. I love the sound of the bike at 200 km/h and more. Now I am an avid believer in safe speeding and for protection I use the Whistler Cruisader. It has saved my A$$ too many times. The price is coming down, when I got mine it was $200 and that included the in helmet led display which is what makes this kit really worth the money. The in dash LED can't be seen during the day so in order for you to know that "The Man" is watching you need the light in your eye.

Member Contributer Bent Posted February 10, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted February 10, 2008 So is this Adaptiv thingy nuclear, battery, hard wired, or how is it powered? Either I can't read or their site doesn't say. Thanks, Bent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Snafu Posted February 24, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted February 24, 2008 I got home from work today to find a Priority box waiting for me. Setting it up on my VFR. All I have left to do is to install the optional LED. It flashes red if anyone wanted to know. I like the big buttons...easy to use even with gloves on. I would get the LED or wireless alert because I don't think the audio alert from the unit itself would be loud enough to hear at hwy speeds. Then again I do ride with my ipod so I probably wouldn't hear the audio alert. The sportbike mount they sell is too short for a VFR. The mount needs to be about 2.5 or 3 inches taller if you want the detector to 'see' over the dash board. I emailed Wayne of TPX to see if they sell a taller mount. If they don't, I"ll have to order a RAM mount for it. The unit is supposed to be weather resistant so it can be used in the rain. I'm just trying to remember the last time I saw a speed trap while it was raining. I'll have to wait for the roads to clear up before I take this unit out for a test run evaluation.

Member Contributer rbertalotto Posted February 24, 2008 Author Member Contributer Share Posted February 24, 2008 Then again I do ride with my ipod so I probably wouldn't hear the audio alert. Does the unit have an "audio output" jack? If it did, you could use a motorcycle headphone amplifier with multiple inputs ($65) http://www.electric-avenues.com/amplifiers.html This amplirider will make your Ipod sound the balls!
