Any of you guys use countermeasures on your bikes?

Radar detectors, Waze, laser jammers, scanners, that sort of thing?

Hey bro! To detect a radar trap and jam a radar gun? Or both?
Welcome homie!

Only 2 CMs are statistically proven effective: the dark in conjunction with extreme acceleration rates.

KHI supplies you with one of these from the factory. The other... do you have a watch?

I carry a supply of 100 baht (~$3.25) bills under my seat- a couple of them (five max, for something major) will get you out of pretty much anything short of running the cop over (which is considerably more expensive).

Thinking at a minimum to run my smartphone and Waze.

I do not think the bike's real estate has room for a bunch of junk hanging on it. I have a tendency to go pretty fast, not dangerous, just fast. There's a difference. But in California, the CHP is using LIDAR heavily and this is probably the biggest threat to a ticket. I got painted with LIDAR on my way down to pick up the bike: (My car has laser jammers on board)

You can see in this case the CHP was hidden, and if you were hammering down the freeway there at 90, you'd be toast.

@GB77: I've been told gold jewelry also serves to blunt the sting of traffic offences.

Gold is used more to soothe the wrath of angry girlfriends and wives (or both;))- cops on the street just want to see some green (or, in this case, red).

I'm moving to Thailand. A place to ride fast. Couple of seat removals and you are home about averaging 90 mph? Naaaa, make it a Ton.

The old "you can't outrun a radio" thing is bullshit. People really underestimate how much distance you can cover with a 2 minute 180mph burn. Around here it's called the adjacent county.

True dat!

Too many copters around here, you can easily outrun the cops,(dont ask me how I know) but if the copters are out, your about 99% toast .....

A retired military ID coupled with faking humbleness works wonders.

Well, pulling into the entrance of the "Sunshine Village" retirement complex and scooting behind the gate booth as a vantage point to watch the street clear of fortified pony cars with blinking bar lights has worked a time or two.

Back roads with numerous alternative side exits to the next county that you know are there and in good repair is useful as well.

Even a farmer's field access road into the first few yards of corn crop rows with or without a large field machine to sit behind has its charms.

But if you are on a long road to nowhere without such avenues for direction change and/or invisibility, a sprint ahead to safety and obscurity is not often a workable and intelligent option. With no alternative route you can't outrun the radio or hide from the copter above.

Better to fight a speeding ticket even if its large than try to defend a charge of fleeing from police and reckless endangerment, felonious excess speed, etc. Lookin' at jail time, loss of license, confiscation of vehicle, etc. in those charges.

BTW, I am told that "on the continent" the authorities assign fines according to the violator's income for speeding offenses. Fines can be well above the average yearly income of the common citizenry in some cases. If I recall correctly, one well heeled speedster in a supercar was fined a few hundred thousand dollars for his over-exuberance.

Don't do the crime, if you can't do the fine or time, I guess. It seems to work well to curb extreme speeding, I am told. When you consider that a change of tires on a Bugatti Veyron is necessary after only some tens of miles at
speeds over 240 + mph and a tire set change can run in that range of expense (50-100K), only fines equivalent to the operating expenses incurred would have a discouraging effect on an owner who was not just a poser.
