Long trip on the Burgman today. Went to Bridge motorcycles in Exeter, across to Irelands motorcycles Barnstaple and home. Twas a bit windy & chilly from Barnstaple to home but a great trip all the same.

Raven you get about a bit mate, good on ya, be in your area for the summer hols, go every year to see me nan she is 96 this year love her, and a few other relatives around st austell, tregony area great long stetched out, and twisty roads

Nice run out. How do you save your route travelled to a map - I'd like to do something like that on my European trip this summer but I'm bloody useless at that sort of stuff.

I use an app called "map my ride". It's for cycling but if you go through the options you can set it up for "scooter ride". It's very easy to use and will automatically save your route to the web site. I then view the map on full screen on the laptop, take a screen shot and upload the picture here. It's very easy to do so even I can do it

My brother uses the same app, and you can stop and take pics with your phone and they upload them onto your trip! you get the map, pop-up pics of the ride, and all your elevation (and SPEED!!) data...

Great app im going to do it only thing is that the gps on smart phones sucks the battery especially when im using my smart ph at same time to run my audio through my parrot on my helmet.
Being a samsung i have just purchased a battery with twice the capacity so problem solved

Hi Raven
I have searched for this app 'Map my ride' and I don't seem to be able to find it? is it an Android app?
Could you please let me have the exact name of it and where you downloaded it from?
Cheers
