Everybody OK? Incredible episode of wind and rain last night - like a set of water-cannons hosing rain/hail down our street. blink.gif Completely unexpected.

What sort of kit do you have Avonne? I have been thinking about upgrading my fairly basic kit to something that I can view on the computer and save data from.
TS50ER, Suzuki GT125, Cagiva 125, Suzuki GT250 20 year gap. Honda CBF600. Discovered the joy of TDM, 1974 GT250 has joined the stable
Vario touring screen, Stainless Steel Rad Guard, Fender Extender (it came off), Givi V46 Topbox (inc brake light), SW-Motech Engine Bars, Wingrack, LED Tail Light
Still in the shed:- BMW Hand Guards, Heated Grips, Aux Lamps.

I'd be interested. My son and I were talking yesterday about getting some sort of weather station for the house but know nothing about them. The topic came about because, where we live on the exposed Atlantic coast, we have quite extreme winds and would be interested in the gusts amongst other things. Since Christmas Day we have had continuous gales of 9 or 10 from the south, south west, west and, this morning, north west. Not safe biking weather.

2001 TDM. 1990 Serow. 2004 DRZ400.  3 bikes, four cylinders. Who needs more?

I have one of these

It's a wireless system, updates the screen every 15 mins. Display runs on mains, sender units are solar powered, no wires.

Wired units update more frequently.

And I run it on my PC with this

You can spend around a grand and have one that updates 'live', but every 15 mins does me.
