There's an app for that

Remote start

Whilst I applaud this guy's ingenuity and skills in making a mobile app to start his motorcycle, I do have to ask why?

Even if I had this fitted to my bike, the reception round my way is so bad I'd need to make the call from my landline. That's before unlocking both the garage door and bike locks with good old fashioned keys.

There are so many reasons why this is crap, but for starters he's got to put the key in the ignition. Once he's done that why fanny around taking your gloves off, getting your phone out, calling you bike to start it when you can just press the button on the handlebar?

evil ken evil

not to mention the fact anything that gets transmitted through the air is a security risk ...

next thing hell get rid of the key cos he thinks hes smart.... then someone with half an idea about scanning software and an android phone will be able to steal his bike in seconds ..
