Got ticketed last weekend instant on but in general a radar detector saves you when they are checking others and you get warning.
Occupational hazard.
No range on cameras now not really a problem on the bike.

What you can try is mount your detector vertically they sell mounts to do so and this will give you a bit more range on the cameras.

I heard those tpx are good on bikes. My mate said something along the lines of the lead bike has the detector and others can get the alerts in there helmets if there not too far away.
Do you mean instant on as in pop. There not suppose to ticket using pop. Or maybe you mean he flicked on the hawk at last minute.

Interesting about mount vertically. Altho they have bits that look like they shoot a laser beam out to Search for radar. The guy at radar direct who should know recons they don't look. They listen like a radio listening for a radio station as you tune it. He says it can be in the Centre consol of the car and work fine.
He should know. But yeah just what I was told.
