Re: Go Big and Ride Small

Took the SH125 out for a spin to warm it up as I’m oncall tomorrow and the last thing I want to find out is that the battery is flat or something. It’s a very easy bike to ride, the seat is fairly firm but one of those 3D mesh seat pads takes care of it. I think it’ll do around 180 miles to the 7 l...

Re: Advice sought

Get some test rides maybe, to see how your issue reacts to different bike ergos. I'd suggest certainly giving the Himilayan a go, unless you're very keen to keep the smoothness of a triple. That said I was pleasantly surprised to find the RE very smooth up to circa 60mph. Sent from my motorola one u...

Re: viewranger topo maps france,spain info required

You're all getting it wrong. Here you can see my set-up (set to North-up of course). High visibility and very easy to read. I know it's difficult to understand all the technical detail behind this navigation system, but I'm sure there are post-graduate degree courses you could join to grasp the bas...

Re: G.P.S. Waypoint How to Share

.gpx is an easy option that our riding group use to share planned rides/locations.

I use the free android satnav app OsmAnd and whoever creates the ride route simply sends the .gpx file on WhatsApp.

Re: Any Maxi-Scooter riders (?)

Not owned a Silverwing but have riding buddies who have them. The old choice was Burgman 650 or Silverwing and I was very much in the B650 camp, more dynamic ride the Wing is a super-sofa. But for me too cramped for my knees, I'm only 32" inside leg but the front plastics were just too close. W...
