Navigating the Trip rather than the Track, gives you the full turn-by-turn navigation guidance, e.g. in 1km, turn left onto the R44, both as text on the top of the map screen, and by voice if you want the latter.

Yes, you not NEED to delete the routes, however they just clutter up the XT.

When you plan routes on Garmin Basecamp (or Garmin Mapsource), use Basecamp to convert each route to a TRACK. Then delete the Routes that you created. Send the Tracks to your XT. On the XT, go to Apps, then to Tracks. Select the track you want to navigate. Click on the Spanner, scroll down and...

Unlike earlier models, the XT does not permit you to enable viewing individual tracks on your screen. However, you can switch on viewing of all your tracks as follows: Settings, Map & Vehicle, Map Layers, Collections, then enable UNORGANISED. VOILA!

I had a 390 Adventure and quickly moved on to a twin-cylinder bike. Those single-cylinder bikes get hammered on the highway. Go test-ride the Honda CB500X, you will be surprised how easy it handles, and will not need to upgrade for a very long time. Great for commuting, and quite cable on the...

I have tested every app on both Android and iPhone for planning routes and navigating them. I do about 40 000km a year, almost all of that being multi-day adv tours. By far the best of them all is MapOut on IOS (sadly not available on Android). For about R100 once off purchase for life, you get...

I had the early 390 with cast rims and let me tell you, they are far tougher than any spoked rims I ever had, except when I replaced the destroyed spoked rims with Excel or SM-Pro rims. That 390 took a serious pounding over some serious terrain without even the slightest smiley. Old Postal...

Yes and that is actually great on this bike. Because its a smaller bike with a very low seat, the pegs are quite close to the seat. In that sitting position, it would be extremely uncomfy to have the pegs level. The natural angle of your feet exactly match the pegs angle. They actually got that...

No mention of the Rieju AVENTURA 500 LEGEND. Or did I miss that? i want to now buy the last bike in my life. Getting too old for most of today’s adv bikes. The Rieju looks like the proverbial unicorn of adv bikes but news seems to have dried up.

Its for easier sidebag mounting, without worrying about proximity of exhaust/muffler

My current accommodation arrangements have fallen through but I am still keen to spend a few days in that area for some paragliding. Just need a bed and decent shower. Nothing fancy. Flexible timing. I have a place in Mossel Bay that I can use but do not wish to commute every day between M/bay...

T4A is good for planning routes on your PC, but if you have it installed on your Zumo, be sure to untick the box under settings, Maps, MyMaps, T4A when navigating. For some reason, if T4A is enabled on the Zumo, then you lose the turn-by-turn navigation guidance. You must then keep a constant...

ESA changes only the rebound damping. Nothing else. Not the preload snd not compression damping. Enduro Mode delivers partial traction control (very forgiving offroad) and modifies the ABS for dirt. Most offroad riding is done with just Enduro Mode. More aggressive riders can switch off...

Hell, that looks like a bargain!

See how many of these locations you recognise and can identify. The Capies will likely get all of them correct. Good to see Leatt using local locations for their marketing.

The Scout was designed for maximum mileage but to do that, it used a very hard compound which was slippery on wet tar. And cold wet weather makes the rubber even harder, making it less pliable, more slippery. Ranger uses a much softer compound, for phenomenal grip and performance. That costs in...

The bridge should be open again by Sunday, hopefully.

Easy to bridge out the two wires without cutting. Take a safety pin (like those used on baby nappies). Cut it in half with a side-cutter, so you discard the sharp point and the clasp, leaving you with a nice spring-loaded two-pronged bridge. disconnect the connector at the sidestand, the female...

Yes, but the crossover link to the muffler had been removed, and the cap was modified to be removable with two pip-pins. The lady owner had a ton of goodies stuffed in there. Full overnight kit (change of clothes and toiletries) and puncture repair kit and more. Much larger than a typical...
