...I like the safety and security of knowing if I get into a fight with a possum, deer, racoon, Hog etc. going down a back road and lose the battle, I will have help on the way when I can't make the call. What's THAT Worth?!?
for that matter, then one can say that even if they charge $500 / month it'll be worth it. I don't mean to be combative, and I can understand that since they gave you the honor of being their test subject that you maybe compelled to speak up on their behalf. But I live in L.A., unless I take a ride up to to Santa Barbara, or up in the canyons, it'll take seemingly just as much time for a bypasser to call it in his/her cellphone to the cops (in the event I go down) than it would take for Phantom to see I went down, attempt to call me on my cellphone, and call the cops.
I'm no fan of Lo-Jack neither. I went to their site and read through their FAQ and am not the least impressed. Unit is not transferrable to another bike in the event of a sale? Not even the owner is told where the unit is install for "security" purposes? Dealer installed only? How hard is it to mount the unit and connect the 2 leads to the battery? Not consumer friendly at all. I guess that's why Lo-Jack never really took off dispite their good marketing campaigns.
I guess in both cases with Lo-Jack & Phantom... It reminds me of the old Italian and Chinese mob/mafia extortion racket... "pay a thief to keep other thieves away". No offense to neither Italian nor Chinese intended.
I guess my second feeling of going with the old pager alarm like Scorpio might be the best bet if I decide to take this up.
