....Yes I've had the PogoAlert for more than 2 years and much prefer it to either of the Road Angels I had previously. The only downside has been it not being Mac compatible but I see the new version now is.

It's not always happy if subjected to being left in very hot sun but its functions aren't compromised.

I use mine in large speedo display as default - It's invaluable, particularly as the Golf Mk5 displays are very poor.

....I wrote a review a couple of years ago before mk5golfgti.co.uk existed:   http://biali.ritey.com/forum/index.php?topic=41.0

It includes pics to show where I have mounted it.  :happy2:

Cheers dude!!!

Yeah it is absolutely mental :driver: It is a massive difference riding this than the 4-stroke's I used to race. Im gonna have to alter my riding style completely but first of all im thinking im gonna have to go down a tooth or two on the rear sproket :rolleye: until i get used to it.

I only bought it as a bit of fun but now im tempted to start racing again :chicken:

I really like Bosch Stuff, and if I'm buying a powertool I'll normally look at them first.  I've got a liking for 'Blue Bosch' as well which can get expensive.  Currently on my want list is an Impact Gun/Wrench.

2 Strokes = Win!!

I had a KXF250 which I just sold this year and I must admit, the 2strokes are much more fun to ride, a lot more lively!

What age is it Ben, any mods?!

I've never run a 250 2 stroke at pace but have quite a lot with the 250 4 strokes. I do love the torque tbh, and I much prefer the noise of a 4 stroke.

What's the obvious difference?
