Re: I love my Bell 955

Bels are nice, but I always return to my V1. It's the number and direction indicators that make it for me.

Re: I love my Bell 955

I know thats in kpm. But still, you said you hit 180 kpm in a 100 kpm zone. Thats around 110 mph. And you also admitted to there being other cars on the road that you were passing. Good call.

Re: I love my Bell 955

it is illegal not to have cats on your car unless its built before 1981 (ithinkthatstherightyear) but the only time the check is if you get it insepected when its more then 15 years old

Re: I love my Bell 955

alberta laws FTW
ive seen the highway from alberta to lethbridge and its straight and flat the whole way and you can see really well. even a 4 lane for a good portion of it.
180 is still excessive but it could have been in a worse place.
ive drivin that road many times and most people go around 130 on it normally. ive gone by a cop at 130 (limit 100) and he never pulled me over

Re: I love my Bell 955

I have that radar's little brother, the Beltronics 940, and I love it. For $149, I doubt you could find a radar better than this one.

Re: I love my Bell 955

Hahaha, that's funnier than hell.

I guess he was paying to much in payments on the car to be able to afford a detector, huh? :P

Re: I love my Bell 955

Dero: Oh yeah, I forgot about that, i'm just used to them never checking for exhaust..

I know 180 is a bit accessive but like I said only once, passing (so accelerating) streight line, and it was also only 40 more then what we were going, usually when i pass cars i end up at around 150-160 (depending on size) before i can let off and move back into my lane. Maybe its just me but even tho I can see if there is a car coming, i don't like to stay in the on-coming car lane very long.

Like Iceberg said it is a nice highway and you can see for a very long time at spots, well almost tho whole highway you can see for a very long time.

Re: I love my Bell 955

He thinks 80 is bad on my way to Fort Wayne Indiana one day there is a 2-3 mile stretch on US 24(which splits into a 4 lane high way for those 2-3 miles) and i wanted to see how fast my new 99 would go before the governor kicked in the gov kicks in at 115 drives it down to 110.
