I haven't installed it yet and no hurry until the bike is out of storage but I will give it a try. The recording of lean angle, acceleration, etc. seems like it will be interesting to play with.
Yet another gizmo to mess around with, well just 'cause. Like I don't have enough of those already that don't get enough use.
If someone wants to see any images I refer to in posts, first check my gallery here. If no bueno, send me a PM. More than glad to share.

Not to be a downer... But it's what I do...  Just remember all this data can be used against you in case you have a "disagreement" with the ol' Black & Whites.  Plus you will be inundated with spam from advertisers once your soul - er - data has been sold to the highest bidder.   :diablo:

I might be paranoid, but that doesn't mean someone isn't out to get me!  :blum2:

See ya soon Charlie!   :bye:

That seems like a great premise for an app, i just dont understand how it could possibly track all of that without sensors. Phone GPS isnt accurate enough to tell acceleration, or braking within a few foot radius, so it seems like reading would be rudimentary at best? Ill definitely give it a try though! I can always be wrong
