I've had to use the old grease pencil system for many a thing including keeping track of kms travelled on the Suzuki Savage which had no tripmeter.VStarLadyhttp://ridingonavstar.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394161184343172403.post-50883649607949200212011-09-05T11:04:54.037-04:002011-09-05T11:04:54.037-04:00Excellent write-up....many of these things were ex...Excellent write-up....many of these things were experienced by me back in 2004 when I did 27k miles over 42 states solo (age 58). The major differences were that I didn't camp (and back them stuck pretty close to the $100US daily budget...it got blown in the NW part of the country...and no GPS. <br /><br />I carried my laptop and used Microsoft Street & Trips to route. Each night I'd change my mapping to match what I had done (versus what I had planned) and wrote the next days routing on an index card that got tucked in my tank pouch. I wrote the major intersections/turns on my windshield in grease pencil. LOL!<br /><br />Great write-up!!!Donna McNicolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13232288000758900407noreply@blogger.com
