Mmmm...... not posted in a while. My favourite Zumo GPS caught me out with a new error that seems quite prevalent amongst quite a few of the Garmin models once I searched the net. "Missing System Software" Avnic were not too helpful so I did some google-ing. Problem occurs when power is...

This weekend we had the pleasure of participating in the Sabie Mini GS Challenge hosted by Auto Alpina and Windmill Wine Shop. The event was limited to 100 particpants and was fully booked within a couple of days. Whilst I know that there were some disparaging remarks about the weekend on the...

Found this really neat Zumo forum. Already picked up a lot of tips and answers to problems. Looks like the new Zumo SW (3.0) may be out early next week. Some of the guys on this forum have Beta versions - seems to be quite an improvement. https://razorbiker.com/zumo/index.php

One of the guys at work has developed a work around for the route problem on the Zumo. Granted he is responsible for the development of a high tech missile?..but what the heck. :D 1. Create your route in Mapsource. This may be either using waypoints or the route tool. The file may contain more...

Heads up, call sign Golf-Nine-Zulu is inbound! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Finally got the call from Bavaria after four months waiting, beautiful white GSA with my name on it standing in the showroom. Should have it squared away by Wednesday...

Nearly had a heart attack this weekend...thought I had found a buyer for the Zook and would therefore have to miss the Poison Rally. :evil: :evil: as I only expect the GSA to arrive in Jan 07. However, managed to discourage the buyer :twisted: so I'll be doing the Poison 8-10 Dec. :D :D :D...

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :D So I think I have discovered an inert gene in my DNA called "Rally". Awesome weekend with a great bunch of mates. It was good to tie up with Bud500 from Durban again and a whole bunch from Gauteng. Just a couple of photo's to...

So let me be the first......... Thanks Kalahari Ben for a great outing. If I am correct there was about 35 bikes in all, although the numbers seemed to grow and shrink along the way. Meeting at Touratech in Centurion for a welcome cup of coffee and a muffin (the eating kind Welsh) :)...

I have just completed the BMW Rider Academy Proficiency course today ? yes they even allow Zooks there. :wink: I have been riding since I was 14/15 and I figured I pretty much new my way around a bike. The Proficiency course was a pre-requisite to the Advanced course so I decided to give it a...

Just returned from a visit to Durban. I had the chance to ride my brother's KTM 950SM. I have allways been rather neutral when it came to the Katooms, but I must admit this one had major grin factor. Yours truly and the 950 SM: Poor thing even managed to lift the front wheel with me on the...

I found this really great Garmin GPS utility on the net. The programme Wingdb converts routes planned in Garmap into tracks. This is particularly useful if you are using an old GPS (such as my eTrex) which does not have maps. Save the file as a .gdb, start Wingdb and follow instructions. I...

Greeting All, I was finally shamed by Leo to change my status from ?lurker? to ?member? so here goes! I am currently riding a Suzuki DL650, which I am sure surprised quite a few when I pitched up for the Touratech monthly on 13 Aug, and didn?t even manage to break anything! A photo of the...
