I was watching the European championship highlights and noticed that even the top trails bikes don't use usd forks...  In every other form for motorcycle sports they are used, why not here? ps: I cant remember if they used usd in speedway???

I'll add the story later, for now here are the pics:

I have tried to get the voice prompts for the GPS from both the Nokia Map2Go software on a windows mobile phone as well as the built in Garmin software on a Samsung Omnia, but the prompts still sound on the phone itself and not in the helmet... does someone know which phones can do this...

OK, you do need to be a Medic of a Medical Doctor... or your Wif or husband / partner is one of those and will ride pillion with you. Here is the whole story: Annually there is a mountain bike race through the Namib running from Windhoek to Swakopmund (340 Kms). The race is brutal (one year...
