At $ 1,399......Nah......I don't think so.

Hmm, internet, phone and music while riding a vulnerable machine surrounded by enemies. Still, it looks nice.

I have never ceased to be amazed by people. They go camping and take a boom-box and a television along.. Just stay home!
Riding is a time for quiet and focus on the road and idiots texting.

Two days ago, I was in a boat,  FISHING,
My, Cell phone rang.   I  did   NOT   Answer it,
or even take it out and look at it !!!!!!!!

The person I was with said: "Aren't you going to answer that".
I Said:  "I'm  FISHING".

I don't own one..

I am not a cell phone addict.....some days I go all day without using it.  My office manager has my cell phone number and is good at screening calls to determine when an issue can wait until I get back into the office......or when I need to be called immediately.  My cell phone is used for my convenience, and those times when someone needs me ASAP.

I do have a Sena SMH10 intercom with bluetooth mounted in my helmet.  I can listen to music (I don't), I can use the Navigation when I need to get somewhere (nice), and on occasion I get a phone call while riding.  I also use it for an intercom when riding double with my wife.

I think the features on the Skully are nice - but I don't feel the need to be one of the folks paying the fee to be cutting edge.  The less than $ 200 Sena I have does everything the Skully does.....except I don't have the heads up display or rear view camera.  

I'm not"antitechnology",these things have a place. I am guilty of allowing myself to feel negativity towards the"product" because I see people allowing themselves to forget about LIFE because they have gotten so focused on the gizmos,,,He said,Typing on his Kindle..
I was reminiscing today,AHH,those years,living N.of Houston,only house for 5blocks, I could cross the street,go 50 yards,cross the bayou and keep going that way and I never found a fence out that way.. Not a house,never saw anyone,,and not one soul knew where I was..And I wondered,the kind of kid I was,what would they Do to me today? What drugs would the school system want me on?

We lived about 30 minutes from the nearest town, way out in the boonies in Lower Alabama. Back then there was no day care. "Day care" was someones house or front yard. My parents would let a neighbor watch me and my sister and some of the other local kids in the summer, and he was less than sober all the time. He would take us to the beach on the hood of his cadillac so he could keep an eye on us, an eye on the road, and an eye on his busch heavy.

we never had video games growing up but now that im older I can see the usefulness in technology in making my world safer, and more fun through convenience. Sometimes I want solitude and I can have that but its also nice knowing sometimes that you are connected to the world in multiple ways.


One scenario I was pondering the other day is wrecking my motorcycle, becoming unconscious, and dying as a result of the outside world's ignorance to my plight. What if your helmet (much like onstar in cages, pre-existing technology) could alert authorities if you were in a wreck? How many of you could extend your riding life through technology. My father stopped riding after 50 years because he was scared he would have an accident and no one would know to come help him. Now technology may give him back the freedom he once enjoyed. Gaaaah im starting to sound like a life alert commercial. Ill shut up now.
