    Not much one can do to protect against I/O except an exceptional radar detector, good eyes, and a rabbit to follow. (There's also the scorpion radar jammer, but it doesn't have a good rep.)

    You my friend are a speed racer. LOL and doing those speeds it's really hard for just about any RD to help you moving that fast IMO but not impossible unless it's a top of the line model.

    I kinda agree w/lower end RD's esp a lower end RD by itself w/no other CM (counter measures) that would = you getting PWNT, but w/a top of the line RD V1 / Redline combined w/a good rabbit / CB radio / and excellent visual acuity skills you should/will do very well even w/Instant On RADAR.
    I would however recommend a Redline for VA since the RD's are banned in your area.

    you need to slow down, regardless of the countermeasures you get. a reckless driving ticket can really hurt you later on. trust me. i got one.

    go with the redline since you're in VA. or if you can afford it, a 9500ci, trash the ZR3 and get some Laser Interceptor laser jammers.

    i use a redline + STI R + quad LI + dual blinder.

    where in va are you located?

    There are some nice open highways in VA where I hit triple digits for a long period of time. This of course was before I learned about VA's horrible reckless driving speeding laws. Anything over 80 is reckless, 20 over is reckless, and above 90 you can plan on spending some time in jail. I would keep it at 90 and no more in VA. Way too many sneaky state cops and bored county traffic moto cops crawling all over the place. Listen to what aa2033 said, his advice is right on target. Welcome to the forum.

    I know, I need to slow down. It's really very easy on 2 wheels to hit triple digits., however I was in Southwest part of the state and there was hardly know traffic. Most of the time I keep it under 80, to avoid the RD ticket. I'll check those items out.I'm located in the Shenandoah Valley
    Thanks
