    What Is This?

    Personal Locator Beacon

    Never had an issue, works every time. As said earlier, I've tested it in all conditions and messages come through as promptly as standard text/emails. I believe the only satellite dead area for SPOT is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Good luck if you're riding there!

    Personal Locator Beacon

    I recently purchased the latest model SPOT on ebay for around $150. Yes, the annual fee is $100 or so, but included in that is up to $100,000 in rescue cover at the press of a button - if its ever needed. I've tested it extensively, in snow, thick fog, pelting rain, deep valleys, thick bush; it...

    Vdhs Rd6 Mt Beauty.

    BigDogg, I'll explain so you that CAN understand the logic behind using the coaches. A: It works. Everyone gets to where they need to be. B: It's efficient. Mini buses do not go faster than coaches. Neither should troopies if they are full of unbelted riders. C: It's cost effective. Hiring a...

    BIKE RACKS AND CARRIERS FOR CARS MEGATHREAD - all questions asked and answered here

    The coppers love handing out tickets to DH'ers for blocking tail lights and number plates. So much so, they hover on a race weekend knowing its any easy sting. Hit up ebay, buy a pair of LED indicator/brake blocks and a plug to fit your vehicle, some simple wiring and you're all legit!

    Mt. Beauty track

    It was our pleasure guys! The responses to the weekend have been quite overwhelming, I guess it makes all the effort worthwhile with so many smiling faces as a result. For a small club in a small town, it takes a lot to put on an event. The positive feedback certainly helps as all of your...

    2011/12 VIC DH Series - Official Thread

    Yes, I agree. Remember though, the volunteers that do the timing also had an epic drive home. I'm sure they had an epic day at work today too. After an epic weekend of giving up their time to do a job for no money and no thanks. Be patient guys, they'll come!

    2011/12 VIC DH Series - Official Thread

    This event was the premiere for a new, wireless timing system. The system runs on the 3G network. On the phone, full bars of service at the trailhead, full bars at the finish line. For some reason the service was intermittent on the day, not that this was a problem at all as the back up system...
