Stupid toll booths...

[Fitz]

NH cheaped out and didn't buy the "motorcycle" option. Call EZ Pass (based out of NJ) and ask them. My transponder is on the top of my tank bang in a see through plastic window. It picks up 50% of the time. The rest they snap a picture and match the plate up with my account. I only get hassled if:

1) The statie's are running patrol at the toll. Been pulled over twice. Both times been let go with them apologizing for wasting my time.
2) Someone goes through tailgating me and then I get charged for having a "trailer" on my bike. That's a fun one. "No really, I was towing that Toyota Camry with my zx6r."

I can't see how that's true. In the trucks at work I've seen it mounted both ways and on the Pike it seems to almost always work.

I suspect the vehicle you're in has the txponder at least 2' closer than anything else I've driven has. That might have something to do with it

On my bike it's the lowest/farthest away and only has an icesicles chance in hell of being read if it's the 'blank' side facing the transponder the way they tell you to.

My old company used to have 2 transponders in some vehicles while we were migrating over the way we billed things. In the beginning we were told to leave one velcroed onto the window and put the other one (blank side down) in the center console or somewhere lower than the other unit so that it wouldn't get read. Eventually this method proved unreliable and they issued us anti-static bags which worked perfectly for not reading it.

Who knows, I thought unidirectional RF was pretty simple..

I have one on the inside of the dark smoke windscreen of the 900 and it has picked up 99% of the passes I've made through toll booths in MA and NH.
