Mood: Cool as **** !
I've got a Geodesy,but recentley purchased a Road Angel2,but as good as it is,& it is good,it's no good for a bike,mine anyway,cos it's too big !! & you can't mount it anywhere.But great in the car.

Where you can mount it you can't see it,as it needs to look thru the screen in order to function correctley,theres a firm on e-bay,selling a product called "Bikeflash "for about £60 !,you plug it in to Road Angel,which allows you to remote mount your unit,out of the way,but rendering the laser facility of the unit inop !!warnin you with a series of LED's,so why buy one ??

Geodesy is the best unit @ the minute for the bike,imoa,as it's small & compact & waterproof,but don't do laser !having said that,most that do only let you know you've been zapped ! i.e Road Angel ! & don't warn of up & coming laser sites.

Micro pilots worth a look though !

Yetis also right,theres a law trying to get through,banning all but the gps based units,so the ones that offer laser warning & scramble signals,will be deemed illegal,the current gps based ones,like geodesy will still be ok,@ the moment !
