    I regularly hit 165+ at Pueblo, 160 at HPR, and I think just recently hit 175+ at Miller.

    A tank bag. I have clear plastic shower caps and rubber bands for running it in the wet but I've never used them. I always just put it in the tank bag when I see it's about to rain or I start to get a few sprinkles.

    Indicated, perhaps, but not actual. Subtract 10-15% and you're in the ballpark.

    You begin your riding career with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

    Daytona. I saw an indicated 165 as I was drafting around a guy prepping for T1.

    I don't know topped out speed at HPR but it wasn't 160.
    Haven't ridden the other local tracks.

    If my memory is correct, the most you've clocked on radar at both tracks is just over 160 by top riders on built superbikes running close to lap record pace.

    Yes, 164 is the highest ever at HPR, 160 at Pueblo (which was several years ago, but also with the faster T10 configuration).

    My detector does not encourage me to speed in the least. I'm at FOG touring pace these days, but enjoy a spirited ride on a lonely canyon road (on a weekday). Sill good to know if there are revenue raisers in the area where I happen to be.

My main concern with that would be any subconscious knowledge that I have it making me more likely to go faster than I already do. And for those that have non-motorcycle-specific detectors, what sort of weather protection do you use if any for them.
    They make motorcycle holders for mounting the radar detector that are simi enclosed as well as the shower caps.

    Sometimes, some roads are just too hard to go the speed limit on...

    I saw an older video of Jason Pridmore(cira 2006) hitting 181mph down pueblo's front straight. Obviously that was on the old T10 configuration and I'm sure it was with his purpose built AMA Superbike.

    Anyone remember this video?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N84aRiNaods

    Something about shower caps and sportbikes just doesn't seem right.

    Jason always rode the school bikes which were stock GSXR's when Star school was at Pueblo. This was in 2006 so wasn't using GPS to validate the top speed. His lap time was around 1:40 and the lap record is a 1:29 so there was no way he was hitting 181mph. The speed displayed on the video was most likely based on the indicated speedometer speed which was probably about 10-15% off, which would put it around 160mph.

    Those speeds aren't shit! Ralph and I hit about 35mph on our pocket bikes around Second Creek!! Ralph even wiped out at those incredible speeds. I think he limped for a month.

    Took my pocket bike around Pueblo once. My balls tingled for two days...

    I remember someone crashing a pocket bike pretty hard at a long ago club picnic. Ah, good times!

    I know RADAR jammers are illegal, I believe at the federal level since you're broadcasting without a FCC license (for the express purpose of breaking the law no less), but I thought that LASER jammers were legal.....except that CO went and made a law against that recently, didn't they?
