Well, it seems that I have a problem that my family couldn't stand anymore, so they staged an Intervention. That problem is going riding alone. So, this showed up on my doorstep the other day.
They even popped for the annual fee, so I have no excuse not to use it. I have not activated it yet, but am eager to test it. Anyone else use one?
I guess the next move is to get the strap from Giant Loop AKA The Tracker Packer... http://www.giantloopmoto.com/product/tracker-packer-spot-gen3/
I have been carrying one for years. Thankfully haven't used it yet other than as a fun way for family to track your ride on google earth.
I'm always getting crap about riding alone and it isn't really the greatest idea by any means. I should look into that. Give the wife some peace of mind as I know it practically kills her hahaha
I always ride alone and crashed really hard about 5 years ago. I made it home, but I was pretty banged up. So my Mom bought me a cell phone for my 50th birthday. I'd managed not to have one until then.
No cell coverage for 90% of the areas I ride. If you can't even push the emergency button at least they can follow the track to pick up the remains.
Looking forward to getting it set up and have them all participate in my test ride day. I've got a brand new rear tire for the 449 to go try out.
Did the same recently. Moved interstate and not riding as often with my mates. So riding alone is more dangerous in the mountains . Subsequently I recently bought a personal locator beacon.
