I guess the best solution will be to buy professionaly made heated gears like Mobile Warming gears. Mobile Warming technology gives unprecedented heating and warmth for an entire day at the touch of a button exceeding the heat transmitted by any other form of insulation available in outerwear market today.

Comment on Using Wireless Communication Facilities On Your Motorcycle by susies1955

We have the The Scala Rider Q2 and have gone across from here in northern NY to CA and back two years in a row with it. They are great.
The only thing I don’t like is that if there is no activity in talking for only 30 seconds they shut off and you have to blow in the mike to get it going again. It is really bad when you are trying to talk going through towns. Our stay on when we are going in speed because our Harley is loud. Which they wouldn’t have them shut off like that.

I’ll be at 4:30 and esplanade. Look for my teal tent tucked next to a BMW r1100gs – extra dusty!

Btw – why no solo ride? I’ve logged over 100,000mi solo in 5 countries, and I’m a “girl”

PEPSI PROVIDES CHANCE TO SAVE MOTORCYCLISTS LIVES
Lack of Information During Traumatic or Medical Emergencies Leads To More Lives Lost; Pepsi’s Refresh Project May be the Blessing Motorcycle Riders, EMS, and Hospital Workers Have Been Waiting For

Starting August 1, DownTag, a Southern California startup focusing on providing emergency medical information when it’s needed most, will be a contender in the Pepsi Refresh Project for a $250k grant, allowing them to turn a life saving idea into a life saving reality. Votes will be accepted (via website, Facebook, and text message) starting at 12:01am EST on 8/1/10 through 11:59pm EST on 8/31/10.

Successfully winning the $250k grant would allow DownTag to launch their emergency medical records database, dispatch center, and begin work on their GPS tracking capabilities to monitor motorcycle riders on longer trips across the country, with the ability to dispatch rescue and EMS should the rider be involved in an accident and is unable to call for help on their own, similar to the service On Star provides motorists.

During a recent open discussion and Q&A session about DownTag, a Southern California law enforcement officer stated, “As a former accident investigator, now full-time traffic enforcement officer, I can vouch for the importance of info[rmation] at a collision scene and follow-up.”

DownTag was founded in 2009 by ex-EMS worker and daily motorcycle rider Michael Hill to solve issues with lack of information following motorcycle and vehicle accidents. Through the use of a 24 hour dispatch center, like that used by 911, DownTag seeks to provide access to emergency medical records and emergency contact information when those charged with saving a life need it most, at low to no cost to the general public.
