EZ-Pass

[Anonymous]

I found out on the ezpass website that you can use them for motorcycles.
Does anyone use them? Should I order an external tag or just use the internal (normal) one?

Also, How did you mount the tag so it was read by the scanner?


Thanks

This topic comes up alot on a Bay Area (SF, CA) news group I frequent occasionally. They use a system called FasTrak. The general consensus there is;
1. Tape it to your sleeve
2. Stick it in the top pocket of a tank bag
3. mount it to the fairing in such a way that it's picked up by the sensor.

What the heck is an EZ-pass?

It's an automated toll taker... you drive through the toll without stopping (usually ) and it scans a 'tag' on your winshield to take money for the toll.

I just talked with the EZ-pass people and they say they will send a special tag just for motorcycles for me to use... I hope I can mount it somewhere it will get scanned with out me holding it up one-handed and crashing into the booth.

I live on Long Island and have EZ Pass for both my car and bike and my GFs car and bike. The MC class units only come one way. They look the same as the auto windshield units but have a large black MC stamped on it. Remember, the toll is less for bikes so it makes no sense to use an auto unit for a bike. Some people mount the unit to their windshields if they have one. I put mine in my tank bib pouch. You could probably just carry it in your jacket pocket too. I don't use the bike on toll bridges too often, but when I do, it is much less of a hassle than stopping and messing with money and change. Get it, you won't regret it.
