Air temperature gauge
Hi
on my trip now and find I would really like to know the air temperature (so I can be sure there is no chance of ice etc)
did buy a cheap item of ebay for 3 quid but it broke within 200 miles - surprised me given it was only a simple bi-metallic strip type
anyone fitted an add on temperature gauge that is reliable?

off topic, sorry
Hi Paul,
sorry, off topic, how your trip is going? Have you replaced the dead shock absorber?
I think I lost the link to your website and couldnt find it in your member details.

Why do I need a temperature gauge:
Those are radial stalagmites on the disc - more trendy than radial brake calipers!!

I tried copying the picture across but it was huge.
These are cheap (£5) and work a treat, with 2 sensors, one on the carb and one measuring air temp. It worked fine down to -36c. I packed up 1st....

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
