You by now should all know what these things are about. Solid state construction and fully waterproof designed for bikes, not to be confused with simple A to B car devices. They work as they should and although the maps are well past their date now they have taken me right through Europe on a...

Anybody know the exact power to weight ratio of a 1998 RD07?? I'm on a restricted license and Irish law states that bike power must be either less/equal to 25kW OR have a power to weight ratio of 0.16kW/kg or less. I think that works out at 0.212bhp/kg and according to my info an RD07 comes in...

Here's a suggestion for people considering filming their biking. I recently bought this Sanyo Xacti C65 waterproof digital video camera. It costs as little as about £150. It uses SD cards, so I fitted an 8gb card. It can be hand held but has a standard tripod mount on the bottom, so I bought...

I've been riding around for more than a year on an Aprilia Sportcity scooter. This has a 12v cigar lighter socket rated at 180 watts. I use this to plug in a tyre inflator and keep the tyre pressures correct. I just got a Transalp (new xl650v) and this did not have a socket - so I ordered the...

Well after about 5 hours fiddling about and about 8 blown fuses I have eventually got spotlights fitted. I had to re-route the TomTom Rider and cigar lighter to make room but think it's worth it. Now to find some country lanes to test them out in the dark. I rigged up a switch rather than...
