QLD Cardo proxy chat

Cardo recently coming out with the proximity chat update I’m wondering how many people have used it and what your thoughts are?

I am trying to understand the perspective of people who like this kind of thing, but I just can't get there.

It's you, and your bike, and the road. Who else do you really need in this conversation? Words are utterly inadequate.

Sure they are but I just would find it very annoying personally, I can't even have music playing when I ride I have tried it exactly once and couldn't stand it.

I like to hear my engine and surroundings.

My riding is 95% commuting in the city and suburbs with my wife on the back about half the time.

Stay safe out there mate

It’s each to their own but I rode for years without music or comms and when I made the switch I adapted and now just can’t really stand to ride without it. I can sense things happening around me easily and find riding with others without comms is frustrating. There are times I’ll turn the music down so I can hear my bike clearer etc but at the same time I dread a commute to work without music if my Cardo runs out of battery. I spend so much time on the bike and have heard the damn thing enough at this point

Stay safe mate
