Anyone have any luck restoring the plastic to clear on the tank bag?
As an aside, in this GPS age, what are you doing with a map?
I figured I was the only person still using them.
If anybody has a GPS on which the minor roads don't disappear as soon as it is zoomed out to see the big picture I would like to know the brand and model. With a map in my tank bag I can see a whole day's ride, ie; where the towns are for fuel planning, and where there might be a worthwhile route that is neither the fastest nor the shortest - which is what I ride 90% or more of the time when touring. I almost never ride without my GPS, or two - but also don't tour without maps. I buy an atlas and tear out the states as I need them.
It is just common sense to at least have a paper map with you in case the GPS fails. I carry the GPS, my smarter better half has the paper map. Although we have had some shouting matches on the side of the road (I am ALWAYS right), we have always been able to find our way. I knew a guy who depended so much on his GPS to tell him where to turn, that he drove right past the road to his OWN house.
Voni pulls up beside me and announces, "Two GPSs and a map and you still get lost".
My customers were always amazed that I had a chart onboard as I also had a GPS. The paper backup never fails when the power goes out.
Anyway any Marine canvas shop can easily replace the plastic window on any tank-bag. If you're handy you can sow it yourself, but frankly seeing how fast the seamsters are I'd gladly pay them to fix my stuff..
Do you know where I could find a "marine canvas shop" in the middle of the Chihuahuan Desert?
