My wife and I took a ride along the coast today. In one area, where the road is long and straight, they have a problem with speeders. Those little "your speed" trailers setup by local police departments was in place. As I rode toward it at 40 mph, it rgistered "15". Could the Vision be invisible to radar with all those plastic panels?

Heh heh. Now that would be a pretty damn handy feature that you just don't see listed in the brochure. Especially as easy as it is to go fast with the Vision.

I can "assure" you the Vision is not invisible to radar, lol....
What probably happened is the trailer likely locked on to a larger metallic object like the car behind you. They use those trailers a lot in PA and they are rarely accurate on speed or detection. Trust me when I say the State PD's vascar radar is......

I passed our only one of those in this county the other week. It travels here & there between
the towns. It said 53, and I was going 53. If I was on any of my other bikes, there would have
been a 5-10% error. Go Victory.
