One of the reasons I ride a bike is so no one knows where I am including the wife.
I cant think of anything worse than being tracked everywhere by effing satelites.

I know why you use it, I got totally lost in the lanes between Malpas and Bangor on Dee today..... it was very pretty, and millionaires' row, but lost nonetheless.

It's a cool idea

If you use GPS it's fine. However if it's using a signal from the phone masts it can show your location as being different to where you are...explain tha to her in doors.

So when will you missus be able to watch the little blip on the screen move over to halifax and then come back slightly slower due to the burden of an SV front end?

Perhaps tonight actually if you are in, I'm picking up a pool car tonight (as I'm off to Devon in the morning ) so if you are in I could sheepishly creep over and pick it up

I did debate towing it behind the SV but decided against it, would make a pretty cool flat bed bike trailer though
