At this point in time I want to ride good rroads and place that have street racing shenanigans. I have family in Europe and US.
Japan is very appealing to me culturally, let's see how it all transpires.
as far as longest around goes it's not my style.
I have ridden driven 100,000 kns+ in this Australian deserts mos,tly solo with no GPS, no Sat phone or epirb and no support.-I will find my way out.
anyway more ideas suggestions, tips welcome.
ps what is a good GPS brand that can blue tooth to a good helmet? Thanks
Japan is a must do. I ride from one end to the other in a month along the remote north side. Great ride nice people. Small towns and totally different to rest of japan. A must do, for sure.
I put everything in my helmet via Autocomm: gps, phone, radar, iPod, UHF - but that's on a FJR!
The mesh bags are at Anaconda I think : www.pacsafe.com has the info, great product for everyone.
The big names are always best. Check out Garmin. They have units that receive both GPS and Glonass (the Russian equivalent to GPS) so you get better coverage. GPS is the US system and is now down to the last satellite; all the spare ones have been used up. So when the next one fails the performance will drop?
