I want to break the regulations routinely so what is the experience of yoose'all?
I live in tipsy turby area so wondering how much ahead they might detect from tree and bluff reflections. Here's a sorta interesting text and video on this.

The Iranians seem to be doing ok with radar jamming and remote control sabotage lately.

I know where there are a few unused aerial survalance aircraft sitting. You could hire them to scout for you.
If they were good enough to find the Taliban, they will be fine for the local smokies

Radar detectors and laser jammers and other gadgets might be of some help, but the best they can do is be complimentary to thorough knowledge and a sharp mind and eyesight, in that order.

You have to know what equipment is used in your area to catch speeders, you have to have enough going on upstairs to know when and where to be on the lookout for this equipment being used, and you have to have good eyes so that you can spot it in use while traveling 100mph.

If you have none of the above and just roll along with your head in your ass until an alarm buzzer goes off you will end up with many more points and fines throughout the year than the smart guy driving bare of any detecting equipment.

I break the speed limit every single time I am on the road and very often break other parts of the vehicle code. For the hundreds of times I do this each year I will pick up a ticket about every three or four years, which is an acceptable "tax" to me.

You have to be speeding for the right reasons too. Don't speed because you are an immature, impatient jackass who constantly mismanages their life to the point that they are always running late.

You have to be very skilled at using your vehicle and very used to going fast with it. If you are a pimply-faced kid that gets chills up your spine and starts to giggle any time you get twenty miles over the speed limit then you will never see or pay attention to what you should.
Going 100mph has to be utterly routine to you, as does sliding your tires around turns and braking at the limits of tire adhesion and your machinery. It should take hardly any thought at all.

Now that you are not concerned with your speed and driving, then you can use some of your resources to stay at speed longer and longer before you inevitably have to slow or stop for traffic or the law.

Going fast on two or four wheels has to be an art that you enjoy, and that you can take or leave. If it becomes an obsession then it will not be art and it will have a negative influence on your life, just like any other obsession. When you speed you have to do it for the love, for the art of the machinery, the driving and for the good of all that might become involved.

It is a very big responsibility driving on public roads, it is not a god-given right despite what most teenagers think. If you influence others to speed or race with you then you literally have their life in your hands. I have told others what I do and they have totaled their vehicles out trying to do the same, and I have seen others racing beside me on the road with less skill and/or maturity lose control and just about kill themselves, it is very sobering. But not as much as when you will find yourself in a smashed or disintegrating vehicle, listening to breaking glass and plastic and bending metal and feeling yourself only sliding down the road if you are lucky.....

+1!!!!
Having been on the receiving part of this behavior "God given right BS" I can vouch that roads are not anymore the place to prove your ailing testosterone level.... If you still have something to prove, race tracks are here only for that purpose...
And ... Do not wait for any free pass once you are caught speeding with a radar detector ...

Amen Beng you are spot on and pretty much outline me own situation and attitude but I don't expect any detector to protect me after 75-85 mph in 55 mph Mt road zones. I don't go above that on my commutes on my ordinary sports bike or regular Combat Trixie but regularly cruised at 120 on Ms Peel to work and back before her over rev event. At 20-30 over speed limit I'm wondering how well detectors might give warning to squeal the front down to un-noticed level in the textured terrain here.

There is no way to use judgment over crests and around the bends here except just expect EVERY blind to have a show stopper hazard of police to broke down school bus unloading children.

You bring up life/death wisdom on riding fast in public or contesting with hot shots - and that is concern for the other fellas state of mind and skill and bike capacity. On Ms Peel I could literally run circles around them over powered balloon tires in the tights and twisties, which drove them nuts, so I never ever pressed them close aka running right up their tail lights when I let them take off first in places there is no room to pass w/o blinds over or around. When I left first I just left them all out of sight after first turn, didn't tease em to try to follow Peels lines and hook up. Only time I'd get passed was when taking off in opens, 900 cc + bikes could go by after 90 in the straights or I'd slow up for known hazards over crests but they'd stay on it and pass in opposite lane into blind faith of mere joy rides. I don't know if any of ya play with cars or hot trucks but that's tougher more dangerous to me than bike contests as cages can slide and brake more stable than sports bikes. Had some nice rides with a fella I meet who'd point all where he lost a friend playing racer in public, then my friend died too T boned on Texas open hwy just commuting. If you ride you can die going fast or slow just being in saddle is all it takes.

I have though about a flying remote plane ahead of me but how would I control it unless a pillion helping out.

My use of a detector would be just for mild over limit on fairly timid commuting. Racing around is not within detectors help here. If I can't bring myself to lock up front testing traction on my first warming up then I know I'm not fit to press luck that day, do you?
