Wrong turns....who cares




There's a saying by people who ride motorcycles that says "it's about the ride not the destination". Occasionally we all make wrong turns. And I have found that some of the best roads I have ridden have been after making wrongs turns.
I've installed a Garmin Zumo 450 GPS on my bike. I use it to find points of interest in the areas I'm traveling near like food, lodging and gas. There is a great website called POI Factory. Last night I downloaded files that I installed on my GPS. The files include National Park info, KOA campsites, Honda motorcycle dealers and even restaurants featured on one of my favorite shows, Diners, Drive ins and Dives. Good info to have at my finger tips when traveling in unknown areas.
Also went to the Sirrius Satellite radio site and downloaded there channel line up. I then programed my radio with some of the stations I like to listen too including of course some good old rock and roll driving music, some talk radio sports channels and even the NASCAR channel for the Sunday afternoon drive time updates of the weekly race.
