    Default Jonathan Jupp sent me

    Let's see if anyone of you are old enough to remember that name, or episode.
    It's from the 1960's TV show "The Avengers", and Jonathan Jupp was the name of a character on a single episode.

    End of trivia.

    So I have been using a variety of RDs for around 8 years or so. My friend who is into high end RD units told me to get an escort. Just poking around and I see that the Valentine 1 looks the same as it did 6 years ago? Please tell me it's only the case, not the internals.

    (I tried registering with RoadRunner, but I see someone here already snagged that name... )

    Anyway, I drive multiple vehicles via interstate, out west (AZ, NV, UT, CA) so I see a lot of sagebrush. I have been looking at a bunch of the you-tube videos and see that one guy in particular seems to spend a LOT of time driving around with RDs on his windshield. Good stuff, though.

    I don't think my parents are old enough to remember... and I'm in my 20s.

    Nonetheless, welcome!

    Welcome.

    Where's SS? He claims to be near death so he may know this stuff.

    So by your photo I see you are a biker?
    I went through a pair of Kawasaki ZX-11 and ZX-12R bikes and always wanted a RD to mount - but never could find one. (That was 1996 - 2001). On a bike you need a remote earpiece to warn you as the light may not help if you are really paying attention to the road.

    Hmmm... I haven't seen an episode of The Avengers in probably forty years, so I definitely don't remember that. But I did find an episode synopsis.

    I may be missing the significance though.

    Close to death at what 50? More like mid-life crisis!

    Welcome to the forum. The internals of the V1 HAVE changed but the outside design has stayed the same forever.

    A mid-life crisis causes you to go buy new Corvettes!

    Of course that does not apply to me as I never grew up in the first place.
