I like the "big brother" notion. Technology ...bob,<br /><br />I like the "big brother" notion. Technology is great but I keep being reminded of the nuts out there too. <br /><br />One of the single most significant things about being part of the BMW club is that I ride with the Anonymous book. A list of BMW riders all over the freaking world who give their number and locations and commit to being available with only a phone call. That is like riding with hundreds of others riders. <br /><br />When I come your way, believe you me, you'll be on my "big brother" list. Out there, we need all the support we can muster.<br /><br />Thanks!Sojourner's Moto Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235661849993752840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-40593103213156965992009-05-27T02:53:08.230-05:002009-05-27T02:53:08.230-05:00bob,
"sane" is definitely more appropriate. Night...bob,<br /><br />"sane" is definitely more appropriate. Night riding can get a bit challenging. I rode many hours in black space. My Martin Fabrication lights are AMAZING! <br /><br />Re: The SPOT. Take a look closely at the pictures on the bike on this and previous trips...I've carried the SPOT on bike since April. I too think it would make an interesting addition to the blog. However, as a solo FEMALE rider there is debate among family and friends as to the safety of allowing others to pinpoint my whereabout so precisely in live time. I understand their concern.<br /><br /> Right now, the family loves being able to track me. I'm mixed about it, the whole tracking in general. But if it gives them some comfort to know that I'm "okay," I'll do it. It does cramp my style a bit. <br /><br />Once the debate is resolved, I'll post what happens. So far, it's family who has the tracking capabilities. I could do more map posting.Sojourner's Moto Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235661849993752840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-68339535822788741622009-05-26T14:42:27.518-05:002009-05-26T14:42:27.518-05:00lol -- Yeah, a Spot might be a good idea, but all ...lol -- Yeah, a Spot might be a good idea, but all who know Sharon will understand her need for independence and to be totally "untethered" as she strikes out in search of new roads and ink stamps!Fleeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535489618564992713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-83806339787795948632009-05-26T09:57:22.099-05:002009-05-26T09:57:22.099-05:00Sharon:Reading quickly I misread your title, I tho...<B>Sharon:</B><BR><BR>Reading quickly I misread your title, I thought it said "Home, Safe and SOUND", but "SANE" is good too.<br /><BR><BR>I was thinking that as you are a SOLO Adventurer, travelling on uncharted roads in the mid-west, and don't always follow your trusty GPS, you may not adhere to your chosen/planned route(s). You should consider purchasing a "SPOT" locator unit. I think it would be neat to follow your locator beacon all over the country and help is only a <EM>"push of a button"</EM> away. All of us can be your big brother watching out for you.<br /><BR>Glad you made it home safely.<br /><BR><BR>bob<br /><A HREF="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">bobskoot: wet coast scootin</A>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.com
