Any gear that you have liked the most? Helmet, jacket, boots, or luggage?

Was it practical? Stylish?

Working on trying out the Beeline moto. Hasn't arrived yet though.

I used to have it. I was very happy with it. For some reason I'm getting the impression internet doesn't like it

Seems like people are a bit annoyed about the subscription for traffic and other relatively basic features. I lane split, police be damned, so... Nbd for me.

Why'd you get rid of yours?

O.o. wasn't a subscription when I had it. I degoogled my phone, and it wouldn't work without play services. Gave it away. I do miss it though

Running CalyxOS, which is degoogled and runs microG to replace play services.

96% of apps and games run fine, including banking. However, google wallet does not.

Nice thanks! Like I'd use Google for banking purposes anyway :p

Just FYI, first ride with my moto 2, worked flawlessly even at 120mph/190kph on my degoogled phone.

Only addition was adding a silicone USB port plug, I know it's waterproof but.. Just a double-check.

Great little device, might write it up here.

Thanks for the info! I'm envious :D

Right?? Good luck if you try it, think you'll like it as a daily driver. I've been running it for 3yrs now.

I'll let you know here if there are any problems/success with the beeline moto 2.
