Yea, it will be going out, but the glorious thing is, the ride back is very short if you take the motorways, which I will to get home.
It should be good! And I think I have the most CC's, woop
OP updated as well.

You the only way to go then is the V-max
PW 80... My first ever bike... It's the only option lol
I got that when I was a little boy from my dad. It had 3 gears, some poke, I remember he used to take me to some fields that had a wood at the back, the fields had 3 footballs pitches between the entrance of the park and the wood... He would sit on the back and I would ride to the woods lol. Good fun! Looking back, he had a lot of faith in me!

My first bike was a TS50X with a 70cc bore on and a BigOne pipe
I should have a picture somewhere, but here's a stock one:

Anyone got satnav? I might invest but not sure if I will get it before April...

Nope. I'm hoping my map reading and in-built compass skills are up to the job.
They're probably not.
It's a dead easy route to remember as 90% of the journey will have signs pointing to the next town/city.
But, satnav would be good. Almost sold on the Garmin Zumo 350.

Google maps with voice guidance on works well. Either bluetooth or wired phones, and you just ride until the voice tells you to turn. You can even put your music on, google maps will pause it when it wants to talk, and start it up again afterwards.
Ags did you name me as "Griffin" as some part of an official name change?
Also yes I still use Google Maps Nav Thing. The main benefit is being able to play music at the same time, without having to think. I still want a 'real' Zumo thing though... if I can music and nav at the same time.

Changed lol.
I think you can play music whilst the Zumo 350 is doing its thing. I want to try avoid Google maps. My phone is cack and I want something for Europe as well.
My other concern is will something like a Sena SMH5 be audible over the foam ear plugs?

Griffo & Ags: Cardo Scala Q3 has 2 bluetooth channels. You can link the sat nag to one and a music player (phone so you can take calls) to channel 2 whilst still talking over the chat channel to another headset (partner on bike or bike to bike).
Me and Linkex have them and I wear earplugs and can hear phone calls and chat clearly, in fact it is clearer with plugs in to rid the wind noise. The speakers are flat enough but check you lid to see if you can get them directly opposite you ears.
