in the form of some virus, or more likely a False Positive (i.e. a mistake by the anti-virus program), in our previous WordPress Theme.
So I had to take it off-line and replace the look and feel for now. Sorry!
But don’t worry, I am hard at work to design a new look for the site and we’ll be back soon!

Many of us ride through winter months as well, and then it can get REALLY chilly. I did a few rides down to 6 C (that’s around 42 F) and it was alright the first 15 minutes, but after that it starts getting cold quickly.
What better ‘garment’ to wear then but a heated vest of some sort. Trouble is, these things are expensive. My US friends ride with Gerbings stuff and that’s difficult to find here AND expensive.
That’s why I wanted to share a nice site with you, on which I found a Do-It-Yourself heated vest with a complete and very clear building instruction. Maybe something to make over this Summer and be less cold next Winter, eh?

Did you already lose your pesky little Garmin screwdriver and are now stuck with your Zumo firmly mounted on your bike?
How many times have you cursed the finicky little thing, fumbling for the screw driver on your key chain and wondering why on earth Garmin didn’t make the top at least rotate so you do NOT have to turn your entire key chain to unscrew your Zumo security!!??
I found a solution (thanks to someone on the BMWST forum). Marco Boelis, who lives 12 km’s from my place, can provide you with a replacement screw, one that’s made of stainless steel and one you can turn in and out with YOUR FINGERS!
Throw away the stupid screw driver (unless you REALLY believe that pesky screw wil prevent your unit from being stolen) and order one of Marco’s screws! I’ve put up a special page about it here !
