A rally experience isn't complete without a roadbook | On Two Wheels

When I signed up for the #openRoadsRally I knew I wanted to put my #ARX Rally Tower to good use. So rather than use a boring mobile phone app, I make myself a roadbook reader and used a paper roadbook throughout the rally!
In this episode I explain how to read a roadbook and I talk through the experience of building a roadbook reader and installing it on my bike! Let me know what you think!

Bloody brilliant is what she said, a bit of self adhesive LED light strip mounted behind the roll for some back lighting, braaap :)

Thank you for solidifying my decision to buy a Garmin off road GPS 😅 Love your channel and looking forward to getting a DRZ400s!

[@OnTwoWheels]

Good choice! It's hard to explain but there's a certain thrill in rolling through a roadbook while on the bike. I guess it's the OG feel. But if someone were to give me a Garmin, I won't say no!

[@gregnoel5366]

Well done mate. Very clever.

[@OnTwoWheels]

Thanks for the support 👍 These are more hobby projects that I enjoy the learning process!

Great video! I have an idea that might fix the vibrations unspooling the road book. If you take two rubber bands. Put them round both pipes fitted with rubber handles. One inside the box and one on the outside. The friction against the plastic might stop it from moving. At least from moving a lot. On the plus side it should help the top roller to move the bottom roller and the other way around. I have no ider if it works but In theary it should. Might need more rubber bands to ad friction. Love your video on the rally tower!

[@OnTwoWheels]

The rubber band idea is def a good one! I think I should try that!!! My next navigation rally I know how I'll be doing it!

Nice work.

[@OnTwoWheels]

Thank you! Cheers!

A side load road book holder is $29. I it wouldn’t be worth the time or money savings to me but it’s a great job.

[@dipticheerath]

Good video !

[@OnTwoWheels]

Glad you enjoyed it

Nice work. I also buy too many things from Bunnings for my crazy projects. I’ve got those same alu tubes sitting in the garage that I didn’t end up using on my rally tower! 😆 Maybe they’ll be a road book for next year?

[@OnTwoWheels]

yeah!!! When you have a a rally kit you really should use it to it fullest potential!

Just passed on info again for your ralley Tower. My bike is on 5 different shelves waiting for ground up rebuild/restore, so not in a hurry to buy my tower yet. Hopefully I sent ya some business. Its one of the many DRZ Facebook pages.

[@OnTwoWheels]

That sounds like quite a project mate!!! Ground up!!!
