This seems pretty cool although to have no idea where it would mount on my EVO, anyone have?

It looks pretty small. They don't give you a clear indication of just how small though. There is some empty space under the tank around the other stuff, tho, I added a 6 circuit fuse block under there without any trouble.
I'm very interested...
I had the exhaust valve disabled so maybe i can remove the valve motor and pop in it that hole if the cables are long enough to the batt
They just got back to me with dimensions for the unit
2.75"x2.2"x.075"
That will fit under the tank.
Does this not do what my phone already does? I have a GPS tracking app that will log everything, including speed (max and avg) altitude, tracks etc etc.
What added benefits does this actually bring (aside of someone stealing the bike)?
Tilt and shock censor so if someone is messing with your bike you are alerted. Also gps tracking once it is stolen like lo jack

Battery condition monitoring and potential for tire pressure monitoring. If the bike is stolen I'm guessing your phone wouldn't be with it, so it would be impossible to track.
Update*
Received the Ride Core, installed it and got the data plan.
Really cool gadget and simple install. Wound up taking out the exhaust valve motor from under the seat of my EVO and the module fit in the space perfectly, leaving room for wires and the antenna.
I tested the shock/tilt sensor and I had a text within seconds on my phone. Also received alerts when plugging it in an out from battery power.
You can record a custom ride but aside from that it also tracks your rides without any input. After a short trip from LI to NYC I checked the app and it had recorded the trip, max speed, time, and with a zoomable google map. You can zoom in on portions of the ride to get your direction and speed at that particular point. You can also view a google earth version and replay the ride and share it via social media.
The GPS itself is also pretty accurate. You can set alerts when entering an predetermined area, so lets say you wanted to text someone you've reached home, it will shoot a custom text to any numbers you input when you reach an area on the map, You can choose the radius.
The app is non-convoluted and pretty easy to use as well. Only gripe so far is that the standard setting is for the system to default for a geofence theft mode. I.e when your bike moves 500ft it will alert you and track it. To enable early alerts such as tilt and shock you need to enable each time you leave the bike (either on the app or by turning the ignition on and off twice).
Did you get the tire pressure sensors along with it?
What about battery condition?
I did not get the the tire pressure sensors yet. I believe they just screw on and communicate wireless with the existing module.
The battery sensor is on and gives you a percentage reading like a phone. My was 80 percent when I pulled the bike out after it was sitting for a week or two and then read 100 percent after the ride.
I didn't pay too attention to it as the EVO dash gives you a battery level readout as well.
Do you happen to know if it will send you a text if you forget to turn your key off and the battery is getting drawn down for a long period of time?
Don't think so. If the key is on the device would be turned on so you would be able to monitor the battery in realtime. It does send a text the moment the ignition is turned on if you have early alerts enabled.

I was saying if you had the key turned on and forgot about it and walked away. A friend of mine did this a couple weeks ago and ruined his Ballistic battery. It'd be cool if it had a feature that would alert you if a draw on the battery was detected for say 10 minutes straight or something.

Hmm don't think so, you can get an alert each time the ignition is turned on but don't think you can have it alert you if you leave it on.
