    Hi everyone, I’m from Netherlands. Retired occupational health worker. Almost 70 years. Got my motorcycle licence 15 years ago, rode 4 bikes, all BMW. From 2021 up to today I ride a F650GS twin while the K- types and boxers became too heavy for me. I like to ride tours with my brother or some friends. Last year I started using MRA, still trying to figure it out completely. At this moment I’m looking for carpuride or similar devices reviews and experiences while I’m fed up with navigating with my iphone.

                Enjoy MRA
