Has anyone any experience using a GPS Tracker on their Bike?

My Garmin unit has TracBack if thats what you mean. I don't find it particularly useful as I normally ride preloaded routes.

No, I was thinking of using one of the Units that has it's own SIM Card in it. Apparently you can dial it up from your PC and it will ping back it's Location. Very useful if your Bike is Stolen, you just phone the Police and tell them the GPS Co-ordinates.

hahahahaha. police.



but srsly. you would have to bury that deep, deep in the bike as any thief is probably going to turn your bike into parts in short order and if they find one of those it's in the bin.

not to mention that certain chop-shops are actually shrouded to prevent just such things from working.
crime pays homie. welcome to new zealand.

Step 1. Get good insurance.

Step 2. Sleep soundly.
