Spot 2 or Spot Connect??

[Damien BonoraMember]

Many more hours playing needed :whistle: :whistle:
I havent quite got the bike finished, havent even started with the gear :pinch:

Mine is a spot 2 and is mounted exactly the same as STM and I have never had a problem with reception or tracking so far.

Ditto for me,,,

Have ran mine like that ever since I got it and so far good reception tracking and messaging. I tried it up on top of the shoulder as well, but it gets in the way of the helmet from time to time and is a pain in the A to use the buttons :whistle:

I might try and set mine up tonight and give it a test this weekend down the shed.

Just don`t test the SOS feature :whistle: :laugh:

It won’t work in the shed but remember, put it outside the shed where the sats can see it

Will give that a go TB, I will try having it on in the car on the way there as well.

Throw it up on the dash so it can see the sats thru the windscreen

No worries, once I have it set up I will post the address.
Going to Taralga Pub for lunch on Saturday as well so I’ll have it on then too…….

Nope !!!
It would just look a bit silly and embarrassing having them busting down the shed door looking for you

Calls are made first I believe to your contact number to try to find out what is wrong, then the emergency services and you Emargency contacts,,,
Still embarrasing if your just out back in the shed :laugh: :laugh:

The custom messages are handy to use on the Spot 2.
I have stuff like :
Finished riding for the Day!
I am ok, Mechanical failure, Please bring trailer! (hope to not use that one either) :whistle:

We are going down to my property for the annual anniversary weekend, its the 5th anniversary of us building the shed in the snow so we go down for a few beers and some shenanigans.

Never know, we may need the spot sos after all :ohmy:

[Damien BonoraMember]
