I changed the name to Gregyver for you mate,,,
I notice there was another Greg above Permanent on the list :whistle: That may have been a double up so TB will be onto that.

Sorry TB, I thought you guys would be out pre running already (not another 10am start is it???) :laugh:
TB hates anyone playing with his rider list , I have been warned before :laugh:

[Dwayne OMember]

We are all good thanx ayway mate
I am travelling up with Ace and a trailer with the Pumkin & Latte machine in tow :laugh:

Maybe Lefty would like to travel with you,, he is from out your way , He was talking about maybe riding up there :whistle:

[Dwayne OMember]

Better to have the unit hard wired if possible and forget the battery dramas.
Also makes it possible to leave the backlight on which makes the maps easier to see

[Dwayne OMember]

Yep, Sure are
And the little 60 & 62`s are pretty easy to see on the fly which is important.
There are larger more sophisticated units that do the same as car navigation units (Zumo series) but if you are after a cheaper more robust unit, these are hard to go past ..

Good Luck on the research

[Dwayne OMember]

I`m not a very fair man :laugh:

He was gonna give me info to post up, but then he was so excited about it he decided he would do it himself :silly:
Some of it did involve the KING and a hill though ,,, That`s all I`m gonna say 😆 😆

[Dwayne OMember]

I also just had a call from TB :whistle:

He sounded PUMPED with a capital “P” and they were still riding to the Motel for tonites rest, before resuming Day 2 route in the morning.

He has some good info to post up,,, he mentioned the same word to me about 5 times in 4 minute chat :laugh:

Sorry to leave you guys hangin`, but you will have to wait 😆

All good, extra straps etc thrown in the trailer, ready to rock

Bunnings also had a couple of cheaper ones starting arouns $12 but I thought I wouldn`t want it to snap first time I need it :laugh:

My Bahco is the orange handled one TR not exactly the same as the one in Gav`s link .

Cheers

[Dwayne OMember]

Yeah mate,,
There are quite a few threads on here about GPS units, pros & cons etc etc
You will find it hard to go past Garmin 60 or the newer 62 series units

A lot of us run the 60CSX or 62`s on the 2 day navigation rides as well as normal day trips.
Very easy to use, wide range of mount options, hardwire kits, software & great maps

TB has all the knowledge, as he has about a dozen units of different models :laugh: And he uses them to great advantage.
That`s exactly what he is doing right now for the weekend, mapping out next weeks route :woohoo:

Have a gander thru this lot until he chimes in to help out,, he will, he can`t help himself

Good idea Storky

Ahh yes Bahco that was the other brand I was trying to think of cant go wrong with that one Eags

Ollie

I think it will outlast me as Bahco make some damn good quality tools from what I have seen in the past

[Dwayne OMember]

Good idea Storky ,, Doesn`t get quite hot enough to melt the handle obviously ???

I had some things to do this morning, so happened to call into Bunnings for a gander & sausage sanga :laugh:
Picked up the last one of the Bahco pruning saws that GavB posted a pic of for $28.
Nice and light, positive lock on closed position and super sharp and can live in my camelback

Thanx for the heads up TB
