Farkle for my RT

Simplon Pass 2023

After a fantastic trip to the Bol d'Or in September 23 I came home via Italy and Switzerland.

The money shot for me was on the Simplon Pass, it's now my PC desktop at work to remind me why I'm sitting at a desk :D

Re: Half of Europe Has Gone Missing

The maps have now gone too big for the unit to install so you'll only get Europe north when updating with garmin express, install a 32gb sd card and then you can have Europe north and Europe South

Additional mirror

If you want to fit a handlebar mounted mirror on the throttle side of your wethead R12x0RT you need to replace the brake reservoir clamp with this off an R12x0GS. As they're replaced once a GS customer has driving lights fitted many workshops have them hanging about so a nice request may get a freeb...
