    Something I should know?

    I travel that route every day but South to North and some afternoons. On average I see 3 bikes a day going south in the morning. Road is OK though bad in the afternoon after Geldenhuis. Prefer the 17 km extra on the N1 .

    Travel Buddy Assumptions...

    The operative word is friends. It is easy to friends if you have a common interest also friends tend to respect each other. If two people are friends they normally have fun when they do things together as they share the same interests and if you are lucky the same value systems. After 5 years...

    Who got wet this morning???

    I have the "standard"BMW boots. Must say they are waterproof.. Mine have never even been damp inside. Rode through a cloud burst and my feet stayed dry, had the water splash on my boots while riding. I wear my boots to work every day.

    It rained hard in the South when I left home this morning. Rained harder in Sandton. After closing the garage door I did not close the rain suit zip properly soI started the day somewhat ... damp. Must say I enjoy the wet ride. Only problem is my specs misting and not the visor. Any sage advise?

    Flip up helmets?

    I have the BMW flip up series 5 I think. Great if you wear glasses. Small in the front. My chin almost touches the front of the helmet. Would have to cut the padding to add a in-helmet mic. Second dark visor is a winner. Also find that the normal visor does not mist up as much as I would expect.

    GARMIN ZUMO 660 Poll

    On Sunday morning I had an interesting comparison. I am in the UK and on my last trip I used a Nuvi 610 and had the privilege to see Heathrow from every angle known to man. Took me 3 hours to get on to the M3. This time I had my Zumo and I hired the el cheapo TomTom from Avis. Setup the route...

    ZUMO 660 Strange Routing

    Comment makes sense. My Zumo bombs out if I try to load the topo maps. The maps load to the device but on switch on it says that it cannot unlock maps. So I have just the streetmaps loaded.

    In my huis is daar heelwat mense en elkeen het sy eie gps. Die heel beste gps was op die Samsung sel foon. Het altyd gewerk en het nooit verdwaal nie. Nadeel kon hom glad nie sien op die fiets nie. Hy het alles gedoen, elke keer, wat die 660 probeer doen. (amper soos Apple 87 en Win95 - Wat...
