Epirb or Spot?

[Monstaman]

If you go down the Spot route, have a look in the US for them cheap. I saw them for $99 US when we were there.

Morning chaps, my bike is broken again so I have some net time to catch up on RR's and check in on you lot!!!

We bought our spot2 for $53.04 from best buy, it is grey though not KTM orange but for the price it matched the colour of my bike and wallet

The ram mount was $30.00 and the best thing we coulda done as the floppy case fell apart, also Dutchmans temp gauge, a food and bev gauge .. perfect redneck solution

I don't know, some people are just too big and ham fisted for their own good.

What have you done to poor Hobbit now?

The stealership who fitted 3rd gear and the new shaft misaligned the oil ports holes so a lack if oil was being had .... hopefully this is the last time it has to come apart for this or next time it will be on ebay.

Take your version of cheap, add in some Scottish ancestry and factor in that it's Christmas and everyone is feeling skint.

You could try me with an offer if you have one.

I paid $90 which satisfied the Scottish/Irish ancestry.

It also came with batteries which satisfied the DR owner in me too...

Just got a new, unopened Spot 2 on TradeMe for $100.

Smaller than the Spot 1, a couple more buttons makes it a bit easier to use and can pick up the GPS satellites a bit more quickly.

I've been using the Spot on all the rides I've been doing and Vic has been using it when out tramping/hunting. Me likey.

Good score. I've been using mine on the rides I've been leading in Wellington as well.

Finally arrived!
Quite a bit smaller...
The battery life is a lot less but is still very good. Just not as amazing as on the original...

I just can't take product reviews seriously unless they are photographed in a hammock

But seriously, whats up with everything going smaller at the detriment of battery life??? The way things are going by 2019 all electronic devices will be the size of a matchbox and have a 3 1/2 minute battery life

Of course I was in the hammock, I was eating dinner

Activated it on the webpage, turned it on, hit the OK button and 1 minute later, there was an email waiting

I'll see how it goes in the hills tomorrow in the same areas I got 4 track points out in 3.5hrs last weekend.

Nope. They'll all be built into your phone.

Which will have a 3 1/2 min battery life...
