Just good topo maps in your face would be a plus. But buddy tracking shouldn't be this hard. Polaris figured it out ffs, and they are still trying to figure out how to keep a clutch on a crank
Agreed.
It pisses me off that I get deemed a higher risk with my insurance companies because of it though. So I speed a bit? Big deal. I'm twenty some years claim free. Rate me on that. Make the people that can't drive worth a ch!t pay their share. Auto insurance shouldn't be socialist.
Almost guaranteed it will work, just not legally. Looking at Garmin documents, it makes sense now.
Polaris is using the 900MHz ISM band for v2v, and that's legal in all of North America. Seems the Polaris system is illegal in Europe though for that reason (that band is not unlicensed in Europe)
I see no reason why it wouldn't work. You're just operating on frequencies that may have legit commercial users.
The Garmin tread is an add on module to add the group ride radio to my understanding, it's not integrated.
Country cat already has the new gauge listed...
If they sell 1000 units at $5000 profit, they would have to sell 2000 units at $2500 profit to make the same amount of gross profits but with 2x the hassle.
They approved the replacement without any argument on my part. Not sure if the dealer had to push at all. I certainly don't have Maxwell or Curtis level relationship with them, but they have treated me well.
The guy is far too arrogant to call an early election unless it becomes forced by a non confidence vote. I suspect jagmeet knows that if he goes down that road, his "power" is likely gone with the change too.
Any experience with the "cheap" belts some manufacturers sell vs gates? Mitsuboshi? I broke 5 of those things in one season including two after the belt drive manufacture serviced the system and properly tensioned the belt. Really turns a guy off of belt drive.
Could still be "quick change" track access while eliminating the coupler if designed right. No need to open the chain case, just remove the lower cog.
I'm still not sold on the idea, just trying to think line a corporate engineering and marketing team.
Belt drive could be a solution to their wobbly driveshaft coupling without eating crow and going back to the old design.
With the right marketing it would be revolutionary™️
