That looks to do more than the one I have, that one has a proper GPS, so location should be more accurate.. wish I'd seen that earlier but I bought in haste before we went away.
Yes, you just get a SIM (Free in a lot of places) then credit it with however much you want, I stuck a tenner on an EE (same as my phone) SIM, you can monitor its current status on the tinterweb and top it up like any mobile phone if it's getting low.
That one states that it uses 2G SIMs only but I don't think that's a problem.
Mine looks a fair bit cheeper, but doesn't have flashing LEDs to attract attention.

I had a run up to the road races at Armoy last Saturday, the weather was a bit mixed and the open race was declared wet, but there was still a good crowd there and the racing was great

Re: So what have you done with your triple/Bike/life this we
I think that's the first time I saw one that worked, BigH.. nice one.
I've been aware for some time that my little S1c is not as perky as she was in olden days, and I didn't think it was simply due to my expanding waistline.
So, I spent an entertaining morning up at Dave (MuttsNutts) where we put the S1 on his Dyno today.. It's the first time she's been over 7,000RPM in a good long time.
Sure enough after 30 years of use, it looks like the business end is getting a little tired, I have some new parts to fit and I might get the crank looked at, just for the sake of it.. I needed some baseline figures before I start re perking her..
Dave was impressed with the linear power and torque figures though.. I'd say it shows how well 250 carbs and pipes will run with 350 cyls.

At the restoration (2000) I was happy with the conditon of the Cyls, Pistons and Crank, but now I am considering that was 17 years ago! She's an old bike again, second time around.
Once I've stopped fiddling we'll pop back up to MuttsNuts Dyno and see if I made a difference.

I recommend you fit inline fuel filters for a few thousand miles, just to catch the last of the crap

WOW! An August bank holiday with nice weather.
Left home at 7am, rode my H2C the 105 miles to Loomies cafe for breakfast, then on to Whiteways cafe & then home ( 2pm ) before the roads turn in to the normal bank holiday nightmare.
A great 224 mile ride around the roads of southern England, bike did an average of 39mpg.
