Now go ride, ride, ride!!

Welcome, you'll like it here🏍

I've tried BC... Pfft! I signed up and used MRA since it changed from Tyre. Easier to plan and use than BC Now use Tourstart.org.  For me, the easiest and most simple to plan, use and certainly the most reliable out of the lot. I know if I take a detour with this, it will put me back to MY ...

Don't forget the BLM protests as well, or are they immune to the virus?..

You'd think so the way the mass gatherings have gone on

Let's just hope and pray that all these cretins that have packed the beaches and the ones having illegal raves and parties haven't cocked it up again and caused a second wave.
Problem being, we won't see any effects of their idiotic behaviour for a couple of weeks probably.

No idea on the above, but give Tourstart.org a go.  I had it recommended to me by Pete ( Milleplod ) and I found it much easier to use, and for the price it's an absolute bargain. Very similar to GoogleMaps, you just put your start, finish and then drag the route in between to where you wan...

Cheers, might look into one of them

Welcome buddy,


Great choice in motorcycles!
I previously had a FJR too. Great bikes, but I much prefer my 2016 RT LE.

We had Travelodges booked for 2 of the nights, they were saver rates so officially no refund but they'...

That’s a function of the Nav and not the route planning software. That's weird then, as I've not changed any of the settings on the Nav itself. Exactly the same as when I used MRA and BC, and they both rerouted me straight to the end point (via fastest/shortest route ) when I went wrong. Tourstart ...

I`m still awaiting delivery of the bike, its from a dealer, not BMW. It comes with full BMW service history, dealer has agreement taking bolder bikes fro BMW. It has a 3 month warranty.

Unless you do most stuff yourself, may be worth looking at a BMW warranty

All done, thank you

Gonna give it a try. Can't be any worse than BC

Yes they are new. I'm trying it tomorrow too, so we can compare notes !  :thinking:

As Old Git says, very longwinded still
