GARMIN OREGON 450 AND RAM MOUNT

Published September 29, 2011 by MIKE MCDERMOTT

New Oregon 450 on my KTM 450. Good match.	Oregon and Ram mount	Drinking water from a spring. I chose to wait.
Found this spot with the GPS.	My usual riding buddies. Wife and two kids. So it's best to not get lost!!!

On a recent trail bike ride with my brother in law and his neighbor it became clear I needed a GPS. We started out on a beautiful Saturday morning at 9:00 am. A quick unload off the trailer and we were off. Little did I know that was the last time I would see my truck for the next twelve hours!!!!

We found some excellent riding trails but my brother in law had a plan. He needed/wanted to find his way to a particular intersection he had been to in the past.

The long and the short of it is that we all ran out of gas and two of us ran out twice!!!! We all ran out of water and food. Oh, and to top it all off, I got a flat.
At that point we decided I would hobble to a road access while the other two rode back to the truck. I was told it was a mere 5 km ride and about 20 minutes. So there I was in the bush on my own at dusk!!!! I was collected two hours and 30 kms later.
My brother in law is now referred to as Magellan for his spectacular navigation abilities. His neighbor is known as Braaaap for his ability to consume huge amounts of fuel while making a terrible racket. And I am Limpy, no explanation necessary.
The next day I ordered an Oregon 450 and Ram EZ on-off mount. I love the clean set up and the GPS is great. I am still figuring out the Garmin software, but it will come.
Our last ride was a complete success with the trailer loaded in the daylight and home for dinner.

Thanks GPS City for making it so I no longer rely on "Magellen".
