I was expecting worse Still 3 times the price!!

I find it much easier to create an account at https://www.myrouteapp.com/ Create your routes there then send them straight to the 590 Its free to use and you can subscribe if you really want which gives acccess to a few extra tools and different maps Sadly you won't be able to send routes via bluetooth from your phone like you can with the zumo XT so you would be stuck with a cable and a PC connection but you would have to do that anyway

And the before price?

I only use my bike as a toy and this last year a change in job meant I had less time to get out on the bike! I am more of a fair weather rider too but this last year so far I have managed 6.5k and 5.5k the year before On the FJR I used to barely manage 3k! but I really didn't enjoy that bike at all I got the BM with 14k on the clocks at 4 years old so averaged 3.5k in that time so very low for a touring bike its now got over 26k on the clocks

Happy belated birthday @dynax Been away in Wales so not been on much hope you had a good one

As @fullscreenaging raging says MyRoute App does this already

Back peddling again I see I never mentioned law

So on that analagy because its not governed by regulations its not important! What a load of tosh! Im not saying everyone wears zip together its everyones own opinion but stating its not important is a massive statement that is just totally wrong! Having whitnessed first hand a crash and a long slide on my back where the leather jacket rode up and wore the inside of the jacket and the zip holding the jacket and torusers together to the point where I had to cut the connecting zip as it was so badly worn that it wouldn't come undone I will always zip togather and I will always recommend to wear zip together clothing But as clothing is not governed by regs its not important is it To the OP buy what you want and be carefull of what advice you take as some of it is just peoples opinions! they aren't always right despite thinking they always are! There is nothing wrong with having as much protection as you want. Its best to be well protected and not need it then not protected and need it The type of crash will always dictaate the protection you need but every single crash is different

Boots gloves leathers jackets trousers back protectors are all great safety features but not mandatory

There is no law in how you crash and how you slide! Just one small example where a rider is sliding on his arse feet first which could easily be on his back

Actually its to stop jackets riding up in a slide

Hi and welcoem to the forum No you would be fine The only roads you can't use are M roads ie Motorways Just a heads up if you didnt know that if you are traveling between different work places then you need business insurance! your policy will only cover you to and from a single place of work

Happy birthday

Bump!

I'm putting me down as a yes! Not sure on if I will be camping or hotel yet though Don't think the missus is going to be coming though

Loads on the pads! The tyre should have been replaced 500 miles ago

Hi Rob and welcome to the forum

Fitted a front and rear camera system yesterday Took it for a "test ride" today as you do I can't post the video The quality isn't too bad but might need a bit of tweaking on the exposure settings

Just been out to measure it for you its 3 inch in length about 7.5cm

I have one of these along with various other gauges and they all read the same so I recon they are all accurate https://www.halfords.com/pressure_gauge

I use a set of mercury custom plugs and like them Not tried Eggz but a lot of people rate them

A lot of insurance companies now allow some modifications without having to declare them These companies usually supply a list in their policy documents

Good to see you back

It's all downhill from here
