I've been using GpsPrune (linux) to convert KML files from google my maps to GPX. It's not available for windows but if anyone on here uses linux here's the link or find it in your repository https://activityworkshop.net/software/gpsprune/

Not sure if this will work but here goes, each day is its own gpx file I've updated the gpx files, deleted the old.

I've read over here it's in the ' pervert the course of justice' league, but the ' stealth' paint intrigues me, it's passive & you could argue it's purely an asthetic paint job

I guess we've all seen cars with a CD dangling from the mirror ( usually taxis in Brum ) I'm just curious as to these 'coatings' actually work ish

Thanks Throttled The 2009 trip which was literally 'let's just get there' couldn't be more opposite to this trip with fuel & food stops, leg stretches combined at the same time with something of interest to look at etc all planned into gpx files. The route planning has been profoundly enhanced with access to https://www.tracesofwar.com thanks again to [mention]Gerontious[/mention] The return route initially was taking a northern path until I found the Vuren Fortress Bunker & a memorial to a crashed Lancaster bomber. There are a few small mods I want to do to my bike & get some miles in to get bike fit as we will be in the saddle for 8 out of 10 days. I actually like the endurance side of it. If anyone wants them I can post the gpx files here, I think [mention]Stu[/mention]

The conversation started with the pros & cons of caravan covers to reduce stone chips etc then moved to car bras with the same overview except were some of the car bras ' stealth anti-laser covers ' & then onto anti-laser covers/tech. So in short has anyone used the product or similar below ? https://radartest.com/veil-anti-laser-review.asp

The only time I've seen a certificates warning like that ( & not for TMBF ) was when the date on my laptop was wrong, corrected the date, no certificates warning. If that helps

Sorted , you were right, I had the pop up blocker on max, I've added TMBF into an exceptions list.

Great review thanks

Stu, I can't see the links on both my laptop & mobile

I've found out this too " Word if Warning if your using Bikesure if your a pay monthly customer the finance company they use to fund the policy do a hard credit check on you and it shows up as a car loan on your credit file if you take the policy out !! "

Has TMBF still got sponsor links, cos I can't see them Cheers, gotta sort new insurance out, comparethemeercat shows bikesure at 179 sobs fully comp & leathers lid cover plus I actually listed my mods, but if we've got a bikesure link here the forum will get a few quid aswell Update, direct on Bikesures website is 152 sobs

Inescapably we've got into a braking thread, in the circumstances of the original post, ignoring observations, there were two choices. Load up the front or off the brakes & try & go around what you don't want to hit. Oh & 3rd, don't volunteer to ride a bike for a video when you haven't for 15 years

No rush! Posted today ( 2nd class signed for ) figured I'd get to the post office while I've still got a licence

50 where I was, used to be national, there's isn't even a footpath but hey ho an empty dead straight road is no excuse. Hopefully they were just after the lad racers it's a favourite with the souped up corsas 5 of which were parked up further along with the lads all chatting in a group

Any news Dude ?

TL1000R nicknamed the widow maker

Did you get caught speeding? I'll let you know in 2 weeks

We'll see but, no tripod, no warning signs, radios on transmit inhibit ? mobile phones off ?

Donnington Park taught me to leave that feckin rear brake out of it

When I could pry the remote out of the missus hand I watched all of the original star trek, space 1999 & red dwarf. Joined a bunch of biking FB groups & gave up whisky.

After the 2019 aborted attempted due to an overheating bike with an F1 error light as well, this years plan buggered due to the Virus apocalypse, 2021 has got to be 3rd time lucky So the rough plan so far for the journey gets us to the Castle & back with one day spare that I haven't figured yet.
