f you have an Android driven smartphone you can sign up for a free app called CRADER. It's from a company called ActionXL. The application uses your smart phone's motion sensor to sense a jarring movement, so in case of a crash, the app sends a text message complete with GPS coordinates to whatever phone number you've specified. So your friends, family and one would hope, emergency services would be instantly notified. If your riding alone in a rural or remote areas, CRADAR provides a degree of security you might otherwise not have.
I suppose it could be used in other ways as well. The app is free and can be found in the app marketplace. ;D

Well that is good news for riding out in a rural areas. I live in a town of 2000 people, often ride to the next town over( 15 miles away), take country highways that are hilly and alot of curves( fun to ride on and no traffic), but if crashed well no one would know where I am. So what you suggest is good for me, because if uncontious after a crash well a signal would be sent out telling emergency vehicles where to find me. Sort of like On Star that GM uses..
