Yea MotoWhere is awesome...
Tyre looks REALLY cool, I don't have a GPS on my bike (yet), so right now I just open google maps, print out the general area, add notes and highlight the route I want to take. Course I gotta stop if I get lost
Yep, that's me. In the SouthEast there are so few twisties. When I find them on Google, I print it out, usually with directions, and off I go.
No GPS, just a map and directions. The directions are usually handy when in a town and I have switch from Route X to Route XY, and it's a little bitty town and the road would be difficult to find.
You can find me at a gas station, drinking a coffee, smoking a cigarette and in serious study of a computer printed map. I might miss fewer turns with GPS, but I don't have one.
Besides, there is a sense of adventure and exploration that having a GPS would simply destroy. I'm in the South Eastern United States. It's not as though I'm going to be without gas in the middle of the Sahara, unless I'm stupid. (I was once in a national forest and nearly out of gas, and hit my smart phone to find the nearest station. That was scary, and I WAS stupid, LOL.)
One of my greatest joys is taking off to find roads unknown, with map in pocket and little else. I don't have a smart phone anymore.
It's for real when I do it now-a-days, and I have to admit that I love it. Honestly though, not having a GPS around here is no big deal. I look at the signs and head East. I'll hit a North/South interstate on my map eventually.
From there it's just basic road-nav. But what an adventure, in the odd times I do get lost!
