NevadaWolf · August 17th, 2014, 02:44 PM

Squiggly! Have fun!!

choneofakind · August 17th, 2014, 03:11 PM

Nice! Let us know how it goes.

Good job having my thread open

eddiekay · August 17th, 2014, 03:15 PM

any info you can give me re makings maps like thatI'd appreciate
ed

NevadaWolf · August 17th, 2014, 03:53 PM

The way I do it is:

Go to google maps. Figure out how to switch to Classic Maps.
Click Get Directions and fill in all your points.
Modify the route as needed.
Click the graphic icon of the links
Copy the entire text under the Paste HTML to embed in website
Come back to Ninjette and click on the Google Maps red push pin icon.
Or type [ GMAP ][ /GMAP ] minus spaces
Paste the HTML code between the tags.
Post!

You might also be able to find the full HTML code under the Share button you have. Google forces me to the mobile site so doing anything with them sucks.

eddiekay · August 17th, 2014, 04:08 PM

thanks teri....gonna try.
I dont want to copy the directins...only the path so. Let's see

NevadaWolf · August 17th, 2014, 04:17 PM

It won't copy the directions over, only the blue path - though it is interactive, so use nearby cross streets if you don't want us seeing the exact place you went to.

Here's a bunch you can look at if you want to see the results of the code: https://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=190692

eddiekay · August 17th, 2014, 04:39 PM

It looks likeI need to put START and FINISH destinations in and dragging the route is too time consuming ( as i understand it) as I'd typically have dozens of turning points, forked roads etc. I make these routes one turn at a time and dont usually know where I'm going...just following the twisted roads so. I think I have to go back to the original site and figure out how to save them. I lose interest easily.

NevadaWolf · August 17th, 2014, 04:48 PM

Another option, post ride, is if you have an Android, is download the Bubbler App and link it to Spotwalla. It'll track you and save your route, and you can link the map here to display where you ride.

Finesse · August 17th, 2014, 06:26 PM

Sweet!! How'd it go?

nickjpass · August 17th, 2014, 06:59 PM

Just got home. Enjoyed the hell out of it until I got to route 10. It was too bumpy too enjoy. Ended up cutting the ride short because I had been riding for five hours, and had ridden only half the route. Took the thruway home for forty miles. Froze my ass off hahaha

Finesse · August 17th, 2014, 07:28 PM

5 hours! Well done. Take any pics? Why did you freeze?

Sirref · August 17th, 2014, 07:29 PM

^ yea seriously it was hot out for the two of us, if we weren't moving you could feel the heat under your jacket

nickjpass · August 17th, 2014, 07:39 PM

When I went out it was about 66 degrees, on the way back it was getting into the fifties. My suit kept venting very well, and I only had a champion active type shirt that's supposed to keep you cool. I thought I'd be hot. I later realized I put my under armour cold gear pants on that kept my legs really warm lol oops.

My wrist and groin muscles HURRTTTT lol

that's what she said

I see so basically you vented more air than you should have and by the time you realized this it was too late

nickjpass · August 17th, 2014, 07:48 PM

I spent so much time gripping the tank. I may be too tense or something. I'm trying very hard to be loose on the bars.

The new seat cover has a huge amount of grip. Much less slippery than the stock seat. Loving it. Looks good too!!!

That sucks, I hate being cold on a bike. It ruins 90% of the fun. And I ride with a sweater under my leather jacket as soon as it drops to about 75 degrees lol. I can't believe in August it's time to start thinking about some heated gear maybe...

dude thanks! I just looked into it and I may get one for my 250 since it would be so easy to use as a track/street legal combo so long as it doesn't conflict with the bars. I may need to break out the older bro's mig welder to get it to fit right though

I love my 300 but I do like the feeling of how effortless it is to ride quick on a bigger bike

my complaint is that it shakes on bumps

not too bad but it was 90 dollars...

they have other goods ones as well, but from what i read they don't have good output

the light mounts using four adjustable bands. took me a little time to make sure i got it ride. then i drilled two holes for the signals in the brackets. i'm sure if i had some sort of metal bracket it'd be much better.

I have a squirrel to, he has been all over the world and has a bit of desert dust in his tail

nickjpass · August 17th, 2014, 09:00 PM

I'm more into acceleration, not top speed.

JohnnyBravo · August 17th, 2014, 09:02 PM

My top speed was tripping the other night, stuck at 99 :/ gonna have to check that out. Not that I was speeding or anything

99kmh.

Sirref · August 17th, 2014, 09:05 PM

I forgot how the flow of traffic works on I70 because I don't take that way very often except when going snowboarding Topped my 300 out at ~112 or so and kept getting passed xD

I was riding at an indicated 90 and was getting passed like I was standing still on the way home!!! I'm pretty sure I need a speedo healer...
