yeah me and a mate doin it too! Have a feelin it's gonna be all guys though but that's cool! What bike you have ?

I'd love to do it, but I'd find it hard getting the €750 needed. As I already done the Rev-up for DSI. Looking at the times on the main page. It looks like ye will be well rushed. You got to factor in fuel stops for groups/food/walking off the numbness and all. Having a Voice comm systems will be handy for things like directions and dangers. Came in handy for us on the rev up. 4 in our group had them. Worked wonders. All you need to a two way radio, a helmet audio set and a push to talk butten.




EDIT: fixed spelling errors.

I wouldn't mind doing this myself, probably not for charity though.

Ive a deauville and will be joined by a bluebird, bmw 650 dakar and a fazar. Yeah the times are a bit tight to say the least!!!

Any brands of comm sets you would recommend?

we just picked up a Helmet mic and ear phone with Push to talk from Maplin. Along with a two way radio. The Cobra ones are very good, as well as water resistant. (to a point) They come in packs of two (only one needed per bike)and can do a rider to pillion as well as a bike to bike chat.

Good thinking K-TRIC - why don't you do it a week later on your own and NOT for charity, then you could be childish and "K-TRICish" about it - have the same amount of fun and help nobody but your self-obsessed little self

Maybe I took you up wrong K-TRIC - sure does read very strangely though.....Like you would do it only if it didn't help others....

- I suppose I was also a bit prejudiced towards you on the basis of some of your prior posts - especially the below on the friendly topic of Satanism.......

Yeah there not the best at high speed and the speaker isn't great. But it gives you a few hundred meters of comms on a straight. Are handy for telling others of fuel stops when needed. And as I said, dangers on the road. I'm going to get a proper one my-self. So I can hook my phone and mp3 player into it as well. What ever you do though, dont use the VOX system. Its crap. Only use Push to talk

Chunkylover

for the love of god dont go turning this into bitching session, i think Ktric meant to say that he would do it on his own time, Im sure a lot of us have seen once good forums go down hill when everyone turns on eachother

I'm sure you did. Not everyone can afford to spend €750 on a quick weekend bike trip.

OT, but satanism is a very nice religon. Unless you've got all your info about satanism from horror movies, of course;)

€750 is alot of money to try and get together. Also I'd like to cruise at my own pace. Also If I'm raising money for charity I'll do it in my own time and would rather donate expenses such as petrol and overnight stays used in a run like this to the charity directly. Sometimes I think people are doing things like this for themselves as much as to help anyone else. At the end of the day if it helps the motives don't matter.

As for the Satanism thing. Has every christian read the bible? At least K-Tric is open and up front about what he believes unlike alot of People. Anyway I always thought gabriel was a bit hard on Lucifer over a misunderstanding.

And now for something completely different.....

a discussion on bikes!
