What the issue is here? Does using a GPS make you less of an adventure rider or a 'nerd' ? 'Ruining everything?' Come on, lets get a little more sensible here...

I don't recall Dakar being ruined because of the use of Sentinels, GPS and Sat Phones that are rented now as a norm by riders....
I have found personally that having one of these aids certainly has made my riding a lot more enjoyable and I have also found some good back roads and tracks as a result...

AND, I will be using a road book too.....

Hear hear. Tho I myself prefer to have someone ride frantically all the way to catch me up & tell me I've gone the wrong way

I didn't have too ride all that fast. You were on a KLR after all.

Where's the smiley riding with an ipod on when you need one?

Yes but it did take 10ks or so & you didn't actually overtake me - I just noticed there was noone behind you...

just made my ferry bookings. the cheap fares on the interislander had gone since i last looked so went with bluebridge at $100 each way

Looks like I'll be doing this rather than the DB1K.

MarkS is good at that if he's coming down, he does it to me.

There'll probably be plenty of volunteers for this job

Well, it's been on the back burner for over a year. In face it was 1st May 2008 when I last posted anything related to the CCA video I recorded.
I've recently got a picture smoothing plug in for my editing software so have started playing with the tapes again.
It's still a long way off finishing but here's the first semi cut 10 minutes as of today.
Should wet the appetite for those planning to go ride this year.
