This app is what I used for a while. Takes a little bit to get used to but otherwise not too bad of an app. It works with gpx files but not all gpx files will be displayed in a correct manner so that it can be used for navigation though.

You are welcome to join and plan rides for motobe. And we are always happy to meet new people.

This guy was awesome

https://ridewithgps.com/routes/19422037 This is going to cover a few roads we do in the first part. And to get out of the port of you have to enjoy some long straight roads. Once past that, I think the overal road will reflect the first part. But this one is really going to need a test ride.

Not sure on the kind. Will depend on how muddy everything will be after the past few days of rain. But I expect a decent amount of gravel & dirt (or mud) :)

Something like this. You can ask /u/kekkon how that was. We did about 70% of that gpx.

I was planning to stop at a terraske along the route, because it doesn't seem such a long distance but with the offroad parts it easily takes 4-ish hours to complete I noticed.

Seems the original post got removed indeed.

Yesterday evening, the Belgian Federal Government announced a new rist, stringent measures to combat the spread of the Coronavirus. From noon this afternoon, you are only allowed to leave your house for essential movements. Essential travel includes commuting and shopping.

​

Leave the house to exercise, which includes walking, walking and cycling and that alone or with one family member is still allowed. However, motorcycling does not fall under the term exercise. This means that touring is strictly forbidden as of today and certainly until Sunday, April 5th. Anyone who is stopped as a Fleming in the Ardennes risks a hefty fine.

​

The editors of Motoren & Toerisme call on their readers to follow these measures. Even though we've got a lot of plague in it ourselves and even though we called for a ride last weekend. An appeal, which by the way was not without justified criticism. But we have to be honest, everything we can do as inhabitants of this country to prevent the further spread of this virus, we all have to do now. What's more, there are additional risks involved in a motorcycle ride these days. In the event of a crash, for example, there is a good chance that you will have to expect a considerable delay in medical assistance. The stricter we apply this 'lockdown' for ourselves, the sooner daily life will return to normal.

​

We are already counting on your sense of citizenship.

Kept it hooked up to the charger last night and today but it's still only at 5.52V, we'll see what happens. Didn't plan on getting a new battery right now. I got this Suaoki from Amazon as I didn't want to spend 100EUR on a fancy charger and it got good reviews.

While looking for an app to track my rides I came across Fuelio. It doesn't do fancy things like lean angle etc, but it gives the average speed, distance, time and top speed. You can then export the track to GPX which is actually all I needed.

But that's actually not the main selling point of the app. That would be tracking (fuel) costs. Every time you fill up, you can enter the amount of fuel and the cost. The app will then calculate your average fuel consumption over time. You can also log your maintenance, insurance, and other costs. Painting a very clear picture on how much your motorcycle is costing you. Maybe that's something a lot of people prefer not to know, but it's very interesting to keep track of imho.

I've been trying out Calimoto lately. You can ask for a roundtrip, say how much km's and optionally a cardinal direction. You can also create your own tours with waypoints.

The free app is limited to Flanders only, but you can pay for premium and get more functionality.

Oh cool, if i'd had known we could have done some duo v7 riding :) Maybe if the weather clears up again.

I used the stocks for about 2 rides before i replaced them, i didn't like them much. I'm more for a clear view. The bar ends are convex, so i see a lot in them, practically no dead corners. I bought them cheap in some motoshop in Aalst when i saw them on display. I just wanted to try if it would work. They are very cheap and are found all over the internet. Just search for bar end mirrors There are more expensive options, but i imagine these things are the first to break off... You have to take in account that the bars for the V7 are threaded at the ends (god, why?). So you either have to use the screw of the bar end weight, or use another M6 bolt to fit them on.

About the veering to the right, do you have it at all speeds and how hard? For me it's quite hard, i let go and immediately it veers to the right and within 3 seconds i have to take hold again, otherwise i'll just ride of the road.

Didn't know about the plate rule; will follow it next time, thanks for the heads up.
