scala rider Q2
hi all
a word of caution ,having returned from a four week trip to scandanavia.i have to say i am dissappointed in the scala rider Q2/it just could not deal with rain,any rain from full on torrential rain to ordinary everyday dirty weather/i know the smallprint says it is not waterproof but come on unless you only travel in the sahara i would pass on this product and check out the other comm products available.

when my scala was working i had it connected to a zumo550 and mobile phone.i used the remote phonebook feature to control organize receive and make calls using the zumo.problem was volume and reception was difficult to correct or adjust .the person you were talking to might only barely hear you or not at all.very frustrating.in my opinion the level of adjustment just was'nt good enough for use in most everyday situations.i had gone with this bluetooth as it appeared to have the features i was looking for.as it happens bottom line bluetooth yes please but maybe a couple of years more down the road.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
