[QUOTE="canucklehead-biker, post: 646553, member: 13964"] I picked up a SPOT prior to running the 3 Flags this year. It made it easier for family/friends to figure out where I was enroute, but the main reason was for safety. Interesting, one fella on a Harley put his bike over the edge on Hwy 12 in Utah... anyone who has ridden that stretch of road knows what I'm talking about. He was lucky - bike got hung up in brush 10 feet over the edge of a 250+ foot drop. he was riding alone, and if he'd gone all the way over they might still be looking for him. As it was, he had the bike winched out and finished the rally - but the incident really made me appreciate the value of the SPOT tracker. Mine is mounted on the left handlebar, using the recommended mount. I might relocate it, but it does generate conversations when folks see it, and I give them the speech when asked about it (probably similar to Toe's speech). For the peace of mind it gives me and my family, it is dirt cheap - when I bought mine you got the unit for free if you took a 2-yr service package. Griff [/QUOTE]
