I find an A4 sheet of info taped to the inside of your screen saves an awful lot of explanation!

i think he means a road map taped to bike where you can see it so you do not get lost
:smt040

below is off topic but interesting
A4 paper is 6 mm narrower and 18 mm longer than the "Letter" paper size, 8½ × 11 inches (216 × 279 mm), commonly used in North America

makes a nice big map we call it typing paper here... its the size we use in printers in the usa 8½ × 11 inches (216 × 279 mm)

went on a school bus trip with 4 other buses lead driver had a tom tom gps
they said it will get us there
better idea let me lead the way i have been there 6 times
he kept ever one but me lost as it routed us the long way via the middle of everywhere
i have a primitive one it just shows me where i am i decide where to go on a real road map
its safer to let a woman tell you where to go than have a computer do it....
dave

the only problem with a woman's directions is its way to hot there.

The A4 sheet of information would be that relating to the bike, not directions to a venue! I attend the Paignton (Devon) bike night most wednesdays during the summer and find that the information sheet answers all the questions asked by interested people.

sheet of information
been doing that ever since i got the rt125
MOST people over here never heard of MZ in the usa
even bikers that have been riding for 50 years or more
do not know the brand name

in a service station yesterday about 10 guys fueling up
only the fellow riding the can-am spyder knew what i was riding
and said it was the only MZ he had ever seen in person

i was riding the 97 MZ Skorpion Traveller
