I often ride in places where there's no phone coverage.  Frequently in places where I don't encounter too many passers-by either.

So I bought one of these:



So if I end up broken and wounded up shit creek somewhere, at least they'll know where to find my corpse

If all you see is: "No displayable messages found for feed".... means there's been no activity recorded the last 7 days.  Try again later

Yep that is why I'm practising cleaning a real shiny gun in the nude on the front porch!

I microchip would be less embarrassing......for me! 

Cool, I wish it gave a few more details, like distance traveled in total/between updates.

Yeah, that would be good.   Guess it would only be a vague indication anyway since all it does is record "as the crow flies" between each check-in.   

Also I notice that even though its supposed to transmit a location check-in every 10 minutes, it goes missing under heavy tree coverage.  There was a couple of check-ins a half hour or more apart. 

I use one of these while i am backpacking.  I have been thinking of carrying it on my motorcycle.  They are nice because there is the emergency button if something really bad happens but there are a couple ways to send emails from it.

I'll buy you a drink when my brother and I get to catch up with you, hopefully sometime this Spring-Summer riding season.
