Unfortunately I do have it with me the vast majority of time (stupid GTAM). But that's one of the reasons I may want one with a small display (if only for the heart) to be able to know immediately if something's up. But phone is near me 90% of the time.

This is the one I'm leaning toward currently. Price is decent $130 on Amazon. My last decision is whether I want the screen to show me immediately what's happening (if something is happening), or to look at the phone. I may be overly panicked here...but too many stories out there and friends...

Looking to get rid of this landmine post that needs to be used with weights. Works great but got a different setup. Free to GTAMer for their home gym journey because I've been a fortunate recipient of free stuff from GTAMers over the years. Meetup near Dundas / Mavis area or in...

Wow @thwak so glad you were able to catch the issue in time. That’s actually the main reason I want one of these. As for the watches thanks all they look great. Issue is I have a handful of watches I rotate and with a watch that is used as a monitor it would require to get rid of all the other...

Thanks. Never even considered the ring. Heart rate monitor would be sufficient for my needs. Buddy's heart rate jumped from 90 -> 130 -> 95 -> 120 in the span of a few moments and that was his sign to go to the hospital. Open heart triple bypass at 50...thankfully he survived.

Works now (on the phone...not on the PC)! Not sure what changes but wow...great pics! If I had a bike right now I'd ask to go for a ride with a GTAM legend. But a Christmas dinner (when's that on) seems like a more likely option! LoL

I've come to the realization that smart watches aren't for me. However, with the amount of walking I do with the dog, and family, I'd like to at the very least track that to see how I'm doing. Also, something that has a heart monitor. 2 friends now have had heart attacks, and both got their...

Tire swaps on the odyssey and Maverick. QuickJack makes quick work of the task on the Mav. But try as I did I couldn’t get the QJ5000 to mate with the odyssey lifting spots (and I bought the stupid pucks too!) I’m getting too old for this ****.

Sadly I cannot.

Nice write-up, but damnit...not a single picture showing :( Any reason you don't have your own blog / YT channel for bike reviews? Not the one you did for your awesome trip...but a separate YT channel like @adri

I’ve done group rides with guys scared of their front brakes. There’s a reason I prefer to be at the rear of the group. And it’s not because I’m always the slowest in every ride.

I agree 100%. I almost killed a woman last year going to the cottage via country roads. I was driving 90-100kph on an empty road and saw two bikes come toward the intersection and stop (I had right of way). Husband takes off and uses his 1800cc power to power away from me, meanwhile his...
