I’ve been looking at getting an intercom system, probably looking at a Cardo Spirit but I know Scorpion have the ExoCom that is designed to work with their helmets (I have a Scorpion helmet). However I think I prefer the Cardo so that I have something that is helmet agnostic and should work with any helmet I get in the future.

The rest of my gear is pretty entry level, I’ve only been riding since September 2024 so I haven’t felt the need to upgrade my gear, first thing is to upgrade the bike once I get my full licence

Some pretty good information here thanks, I never really have a folding ear issue but I do wear a mask 90% of the time.

Interesting I never even thought about, could definitely see myself making the same mistake walking in somewhere blasting music from my helmet haha

Haha if I could I would but I think you’re not supposed to put your foot down

Yeah I think I need to practice in a car park I have just been practicing on a quiet street but every time it feels like I am going to tip over or not make the turn.

When I do make it I never feel like I did from skill more from luck.

I honestly don’t think there is a replacement for Google Maps, I use Organic Maps from time to time but it is more difficult to use, rarely can I just input the name of a business and it finds it.

I suppose using it like a directory for restaurants and attractions could be done through the browser without an account but it is hard to deny Google Maps is a fantastic resource and hard to replace.

This looks interesting, it could be good to get away from Google. I never think about other proprietary system I always think first about moving to Open Source solutions.

I’m always struggling to find ebooks and flac albums, sometimes it is fine but sometimes it is impossible. Or they are weird versions.

Yeah I think streaming services killed this, why download music when you have Spotify, Youtube Music etc, with essentially all songs on it.

This is interesting I’ve been looking for something to make my own router with and run OPNsense on. The price is good on these and they have 2 ethernet ports
