    Hi everyone, I am Gary France, from London, England, saying hello here on MRA. I run a Harley-Davidson motorcycle touring business called Tour1 and we operate tours mainly in Europe, but also sometimes in the USA and New Zealand. I have been using Basecamp for about ten years and so I know that software very well. I plan about 10 routes a year, each for an average of about 10 days, so I have maybe planned a 1000 days riding on Basecamp. You could therefore say I know the software quite well. Having said that, I find it very awkward to use and despair of some of its problems. I started looking at MRA in February 2020 to see if I could use it for planning my tours.

    In 2010, I rode 21,475 miles (34,560 kms) around the USA in a single four-and-a-half month road trip. I wrote a huge book about my journey called β€˜France In America’. This is available to buy on the web, buy searching for the book name and adding the word Harley to the search.

    I look forward to learning more about MRA and contributing to its development as an enthusiastic member of its community.

        @Gary-France Hi Gary and welcome to the community! We have a lot people coming over from Basecamp, and some people still using Basecamp together with MyRoute-app. I hope you'll feel at home here.

        Kind regards,

              @Nick-Carthew I see the whole world as somewhere to be explored! I have previously ridden in many countries and this year I will be taking a tour to New Zealand for the first time. Looking forward to that!
