It's the thought of all travel being halted, not by a vehicle mechanical failure, but with an autocom that's got wet

When does Steptoe say sorry ??

Sorry for what ???.

I will offer a big "thank you". For putting a smile on my face

shouldnt this be in the wasserhead section

I'm just interested why a faulty Autocom is such a show stopper that needs an urgent replacement while on tour.

Travelling with a group of 6 bikes it adds in both a safety feature and an interest (bike to bike ) , as well as GPS

It's a lot easier keeping 6 together with radio rather than sign language .

I've used Autocom since 1992 on many tours and find it an important feature to the tour. I also enjoy music on the long motorway sections at either end of the tour .

So if I can get it put right then why not ??

Yes indeed, why not.

But having taken a few tours to morrococ, with up to 12 riders, i've never felt the need to herd the riders. treat them like grown ups and they respond very well

I agree.

Nice to have comms, but not essential.

My daughter singing! Sometimes have to unplug her and let her sing to herself while my wife and I crack on with the important business of trying to figure out where we're going.

It's not a show stopper , but a very useful tool . Having used Autocom bike to bike systems since 1992 I have grown very fond of their use . It's technology so why not ? The one unit provides bike to bike , GPS instructions , MP3 player , and phone although I don't like the phone bit.

It's nice at times to be pre warned of an obstruction on the road or a pretty girl by the side of it .

I've only had one riding companion that refused to be wired up for a trip to Asia (his choice) but we were horrified when he shot of first and headed down the wrong side of a dual carriageway , what an episode . So easy to have stopped him had he been wired !!!!

Personal choice at the end of the day.
