Tollbooth tips

[live2ride]

yea, and leaving wasn't so fun either as the lane was just a big oil slick.  thought i lost it for a second

[lemond]

that's how I dropped my bike a few years ago, at a toll trying to dig out change for the toll. lesson learn, get a ezpass.

I tried my EzPass in several discreet locations -- in a pocket, in my tank bag -- none of which worked.  I ended up attaching it to my headlight fairing and it works every time.  It is all about angle.  If you don't have a fairing, I dunno.  Someone sells a mount that clamps to a handlebar.

[thought]

keep in mind that the reader is generally above the toll booth, not in front.  i'm going to try to strap it to my backpack shoulder strap and see if it reads next time...  and i hate how ugly all the handlebar mounted ezpass set ups are.

I strapped mine to the shoulder strap as well. Worked on every single tollbooth i went through, although i never went through the 55 mph toll in deleware, so i'm not sure about the quicker ones.

Under my seat. The thing is about the size of a deck of cards to supposedly house the boosted rfid which per the local toll road authority "will work anywhere on the bike including in saddlebags."  In actual practice they're picking it up about 60% of the time.
