I think the units that can link up to 15 riders are the DMC ones. But if you don’t ride with a herd that all have helmet communication why buy more features than you need? The Packtalk Custom looks interesting in that you buy what you want and nothing else.
Mairi and I really like our Packtalk Bold units from Cardo. I know that the list price of them is off-putting but shopping Dennis Kirk or Revzilla can lower the sticker shock. Plus now you can pair with Sena.
My ‘09 RSV is short of 30,000 miles so I don’t anticipate replacing it anytime soon. With the knowledge base here on this site I can keep it running on into the next century. So, I am throwing my hat into the ring!!
Happy New Year to the VR family!! May we all meet here again a year from now still enjoying these beasts we affectionately love and caress and cuss from time to time!
I, for one , am extremely grateful for your vision and all that you have done with this site. I am praying for your healing and you and your wife’s health going forward. God bless you!
The lower powered mixers have issues. You might find a ton of those since people use them for jobs they aren’t built for. We have had our 525 watt mixer for over 20 years now with no problems.
When I was working, we used the Milwaukee drills being talked about with no motor failures. We drilled tons of holes in 304 stainless including some 5 inch with a hole saw. No drill failures but some sore wrists from the hole saw catching. The saw stops but the guy holding it experiences extreme acceleration in the opposite direction!
Have you switch to all led lights? My sister in law put a led headlight on her Honda and all was well until she went on a long ride. The battery failed and swelled up from the heat of overcharging. Got a new battery and 150 miles down the road the same thing happened. They figured out that the regulator couldn’t dump enough power so it failed from the heat as well. Answer to the problem was to move the regulator into the air stream and add a couple more lights.
Has anyone here tried the lithium battery for their Gen 2 scoot? I was thinking that a lightweight battery might help the top heaviness of these bikes. Thoughts?
looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of [our] faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Happy Easter!
