    Long 2 week trip - What am I going to forget?

    AAA won't help if you have CAA Plus. Broke down in PA two years ago and the only help I got from AAA was the phone nbr of a towing service. CAA Premier Membership will get you the towed by AAA. To their credit I was reimbursed by CAA for the towing but is was a real hit to the wallet. Not...

    Can I do my M test on Scooter

    I did my test at the Guelph test centre. Fastest portion of the test was Silver Creek Parkway. Traffic lights on the Parkway kept the speed down. I hit every red light for the length of the test on the Parkway. Turn around on 7 then back to the barn. No problems with the examiner as to whether...

    Hearing Aids in Helmets

    Between high explosives and bagpipes I have considerable hearing loss. I wear in ear hearing aids but not when riding. A mould of your ear will be taken to give the hearing aids a good fit but they are made of hard plastic and offer minimal noise reduction. On the highway it is foam earplugs (3m...

    Heated grips or winter gloves

    A good set of heated grips, had them on/or installed them on the last three of the five bikes I've owned. The last two bikes had OEM heated grips installed but their performance paled compared to the aftermarket ones I installed. Heated grips if installed correctly are available for use anytime...

    Sudden extreme Eye burn/stinging when riding- Dry Eyes...?

    I had exactly the same symptoms you described. It would occur near the end of a long day of riding in warm/hot weather. I too thought it was the sun screen I was using either running into my eyes or the fumes as it evaporated off my skin. Stopped using sun screen but problem continued. Cool...

    Planning tools for rides with many stops?

    Try Routeconverter , free, works with Mac, Windose and Linux. I've imported 35 lat/long waypoints/stops and converted it for use with Copilot on the smart phone. The list of formats it will export to is too long to list, Tom-Tom as well as gpx. are on the list. It uses a Google maps as well as...

    Waypoint gps apps?

    The GPS device or the app you are using would provide the turn by turn instructions. RouteConverter is for creating/organizing the waypoints and converting them into various formats used by various GPS hardware/software.

Add waypoints to the map as you would on Google Maps and the lat/long is added to the list. The list will hold more than 200 waypoints. The results can be displayed as a route, waypoint...

    TomTom Winding roads

    I forgot to mention that the pay as you go phone I bought was never activated and therefore has been working without a data plan. Sensitivity is as good as my friends Iphone 6 in time it takes to lock onto satelites. Many claimed my nuvi would fail due to vibration and yet after 8 years and...

    TomTom Winding roads

    I agree with MacDoc it is time to move on from stand alone GPS units unless they are for hiking or off-road use. I've been using a old Garmin Nuvi until last year when someone took a liking to it and made off with it on day 3 of my two week riding vacation. I hadn't upgraded to a newer...

    CAA membership for motorcycle only?

    FYI if you break down in the states (PA, NY) AAA will not tow your bike if you have CAA Plus. CAA will reimburse your towing fee but you may be stuck trying to find a towing company while you're stuck on the side of the road. I checked Pennslyvania and New York AAA and they don't tow unless you...
