Radio TRO is brought to you in part by: Twisted Road - Motorcycle Rental in the USA Visit Twisted.TRO.bike to get a FREE riding day! Robin flips last week's paper lesson into a 40-app panic spiral, then rescues it with a plan. His new Maps to Apps Testing Grounds will put one navigator at a time against GPX handoff, offline maps, rider-aware routing and whatever feature manages not to melt when the cell signal is gone. Track-day prep later turns the same appetite for options into canopies, coolant rules, taped wheel weights and a choice between Maggie's SV and the paid-down GSX-8R. Brian separates the route planner from the screen on the bars before anyone mistakes Google, Apple or Waze for the assignment. Locus Pro remains his learned habit, north-up remains his apparently criminal preference and every contender has to preserve the shaped route instead of converting it into an interstate abomination. He also brings MotoPumps tire-inflator advice, practical sag checks and a novel track-day strategy (read every organizer's rules). Joanne replaces hard-shell mythology with CE Level 2 impact absorption and fit that follows a rider under leathers. A full-length protector with a kidney belt is the track-ready standard, while a proper insert can still serve a casual novice if the suit has the pocket. Her bottom line is simpler than the catalog, meaning bring the protector when fitting the suit, buy known gear and don't attend a track day without spine protection.
