Sorry for the old man post here, but if you want to reduce the # of tickets you get, STOP SPEEDING!

I've done the Radar Detector/Radar Jammer thing - I swear it caused more tickets than it saved... - Spent $300-$400 on equipment in my life and I swear it NEVER saved me one ticket - they constantly went off from automatic doors, etc.

In the car at least, I wound up having the stereo loud enough that the detector bleeps weren't enough. - Cops are good - they can read traffic by sight, and target the people moving faster than the flow - a detector does you no good in this scenario - They have all turned off till they see you passing someone - then they flip a switch and you are clocked before your detector lights up.

And if you keep riding like an idiot you won't have to worry too much more about taxes...

Dunno about you Yanks, but here is Australia they also use cars parked on the side of the road with a camera in them, and also cameras tripped off by magnetic wires embedded in the road surface. No detector will save you from the second one, but they at least have some form of signage on the roads where they're located.

If you really don't want tickets, perhaps you should buy yourself a Honda CT110.

A cheap radar detector WILL get you into trouble (it's how I got my FIRST ticket ever) if you use it to speed.

The only ones I would trust at this point are the ones that cost more than I originally paid for either my bike or my car ($450+).

To be honest the only radar detector that you can REALLY trust (your life to) is:
