Something useful for you touring lot -- and Disco Dan, of course

[xwhatsit]

I saw this a while back, but can't remember if you guys know about it. Specially designed for use with a gloved hand.

Although getting lost is half the fun of owning a motorcycle, sometimes I would love to have a GPS unit. Stopping on the side of the road to pull out a street directory is a major pain in the arse.

I tried to use the `finger in the wind' trick last time I got lost, but leather glove doesn't taste very nice, and I couldn't really feel much anyway.

If im not sure which way to go, I always follow my tried and tested motto:

"If in doubt, turn right"

And recent appendix:

"except on a roundabout"

Fucking left hand controls huh? If this was the US of A I`d sue them for discrimination.

If getting lost is an issue, get yourself a lady friend to be your pillion :P

Lol I am so going to get in trouble for posting this, but Squiggles can't deny it, most of the time on our South Island trip I WAS right :P

I doubt my girlfriend has any clue at all when it comes to not getting lost, never mind the fact her glasses make it hard to see street signs lol.

Good thing she still catches the bus for now.

Lost is just a state of mind. Just keep going until it is familiar or new. Eventually we all come full circle.

I've got a Garmin Zumo, we've used it quite a it lately looking at open homes (in the car though). It's an awesome piece of kit.

I know, that's what I do when I'm riding for pleasure. But when you're commuting and you have to be at a certain place at a certain time to meet somebody or take an exam, it's a bit of a pisser.
