    Default Hello From DFW

    Hi guys/gals. Stumbled on to your forum from another site I was visiting and it looks like there's a lot of great people and info around here. I've lived in the DFW area for about 15 years and I have a passion for enjoying my vehicles and staying out of trouble while doing so

    I'm mostly, though not always, successful. The last time I got popped for speeding was a couple of years ago going north on 121 in the Carrollton area. I should have known better as it was about 10:00 AM on a weekday and traffic was very light. I was an extremely easy target.

    That's for sure, I don't know how I've made it out of there alive

    Welcome to the forum. Lots of people from the Dallas area are here on the forum. I myself am from Allen. What kind of countermeasures are you running?

    T'was laser; the instant my detector went off I knew I was nabbed. I pulled over before the officer even got up to speed; I guess I spoiled the fun of his pursuit. Although I was busted, I actually got lucky on this one. If he had tagged me only a little sooner, he would have had me at around 95....

    Small world...I too live in Allen, near the corner of Alma/121.

    Right now, the only countermeasures I have are my wits and a cheapo Cobra. It's saved me on numerous occasions but I definitely need to upgrade.

    What I really need to do is find a good solution for my bike. I haven't done enough research yet to determine the best course of action...

    Throw the Cobra away. The Vette deserves better protection Get a Valentine One. As for the bike, that'll be a little tricky. Check out the Motorcycle Forum for more info.
