Hello

[rideco]

Just a little intro from me before I go off to the motorcycle part of the forum and ask some questions. Way Way back in the day (early 90's) I had an escort passport from cincinnati microwave and that thing saved me so many times it paid for its self several times. That unit got stolen after many years of soild service and I never picked up another RD until now. I was looking at an 8 hour drive back home across WY and I was not about to do the standard 5 over the PSL on my way back home. I stopped at a truck stop with the full intentions of picking up a cheap cobra only to find they were out of stock. They had Escort 8500x50 and some other Bell unit and since I knew my old escort was awesome I decided to pick up the x50. Sure enough it saved me at least two tickets on my way home so I figure its already payed for its self day one. After reading the forums I am so happy that the cobra was not in stock and I got the x50. Not sure which hardware version I have but its manufacture date is 35/07. I had long forgot the pleasure of owning a good RD unit and I must say I am very happy to have another one again. Oh if only laser jammers were legal in CO I would be getting a system asap after learning they really can work. Anyway just wanted to say hello and thanks for the very useful and informative posts here.

Welcome to the forum. That was a good decision getting the X50. Cobras are nothing but junk

So speeding is legal in Colorado?

^ It is easy to stop speeding. Its a little harder to stop having a jammer attached to your vehicle. If jammers become illegal here I will probably never get one or stop using it (knock on wood!!!).

yes speeding is illegal in CO. I dont want to invest $400+ on a laser jammer only to have the local LEO's rip it off my bike and destroy it. I need to get a better idea on what exactly the CO state patrol and county goons use for enforcement. I know for a fact the local city cops use laser and Ka but I dont really speed that much in my town. I am never in that big of a hurry to get to work. Its more when I am out canyon carving that I need to worry. My guess is that they dont use laser up in the canyons where I am the most likely to get a ticket.
