Most Garmins, certainly all the ones I've owned, have a tracklog facility. The Zumo550 will store a couple of thousand miles or more depending how fast you're going. You can also review the tracklog on your PC and it includes things like altitude, speed and distance. Very interesting to see how wel...

I heard that if you thrash an engine on run in it will produce slightly more power, and there is no better time to thrash it as the warranty is still fresh. :evil: This is true, however, it will also shorten the life of the engine. One reason for taking it easy to start with is that the oil they pu...

I'm not sure if this is the same for all GPS and SatNav devices, but on the TomTom there isn't an option (that I have found) to review where you have been. The reason I say this is because when I was travelling from Vienna to Berlin one day in 2006, I got to about 100 miles from Berlin, wet, cold an...

The problem we have here is the usual misunderstanding of the name Great Britain... You should really look at where the name comes from and then you will realise that 'Great' does not refer to wonderful or brilliant, it actually means big . Then you ask yourself "why is our country called big w...

Hi Itchy, Congratulations on your purchase - I pick mine up this Saturday! :woohoo: Regarding the running-in period: I will be going with the instructions on the sticker that is on the tank - 5,000 rpm for the first 300 miles, etc. - if you've had a tank pad fitted, the sticker might have been remov...

I have just bought an Airoh S4 on the recommendation of Craig from a previous thread; although the one he highlighted is an XS and the normal price is around £110 :woohoo: I ordered mine from dirtbikexpress.co.uk via their eBay shop: ordered on Sunday and arrived on Tuesday! B) Fit wise: I bought a ...

I would definitely agree with the try before you buy thing. I tried out both the GS1200 and GS800 models and found out that the 800 has the taller seat but, as the 1200's is wider, there's not really that much in it. I've only got a 30" inside leg but I've still gone for the Tiger XC because I ...

Yep... I've got one of those too :woohoo: :whistle:

Seriously... the new BMW G650 GS is said to have a seat height that is lower than the Kawasaki 250 Ninja.

Add this to the Olympic Countdown Clock breaking down after one day... the country coming to a stand-still because of 1" of snow... cheaper to fly to Newcastle from London than go on the train... :blink:

That's a pretty little thing... would go nicely with my Tiger XC

Shame I've got no money left now... :blink:
