Hey Justin & Other SSA Friends,
I have ridden with a Valentine One on my scooter for the past 6 - 7 years, wouldn't leave home without it! I have not received one ticket since its installation (even use it in my Prius).
The V-1 is a premium product, one of the top two portables in sensitivity, but unique as it has two sets of receivers allowing directional information (fromt, side, rear). Very important ... if I get a "hit" from the rear, I speed-up a bit to stay ahead ;)
My V-1 is velcro-attached behind the tinted windscreen, and is audio hard-wired into my Collette helmet communicator (an awesome 900 mhz waterproof snowmobile unit). I tried the LED light system once, and thought it was too distracting (blinding) in flat-light or night riding. Imagine being blinded mid-corner :o Anyway, I prefer the audio BEEEEP, telling me band and proximity.
I will be upgrading this summer to a new wireless bluetooth transceiver / helmet communicatior, and am researching two brands.
Hope to see you all on a mid-June ride (will be riding down from the Oregon coast), as well as Jerome's Swim Ride and the Coastal Overnighter!
yeah I LOVE RADAR DETECTORS!!!! Saved me from tickets soooo many times before...cant drive without one..I feel naked....even tho i dont really speed that much...I had a escort for a few years but recently got jacked from inside my car!!!! so i was planning on going with the V1 this time around.
Thanks for all the information. I look forward to riding with you again this summer.
Thanks for replying and making it public! I felt silly asking you a public question and then waiting for you to come back from some 'around the world tour' i didn't know about. Great feedback. . . thanks again.
have the escort 9500i with gps.shows band and speed,set speedtraps and false signals auto or manual.very loud audio.bel sucks.
