[bone crusher]

Thanks for everyones review i got enough info to make a purchase.
Bones, whats your credit card number?

You can't have it again...that escort service you charged to my card last time has exceeded my limit!
:yes:

I cannot imagine riding without a GPS now - I often just go in a direction and keep riding to end up somewhere random I've never been--- then just push the 'home' button and go home. I always have it set up to avoid highways, interstates, etc..... as I like the back roads!

:agree: That is about all I use mine for. I have a Garmin GPS V (talk about showing my age!) but I like everything, except having to load 19K of maps at a time (with serial port). Oh well it does the job, in Black and White and without little voices telling me what to do.

I got the Zumo 550 because of the ratings, it's water proof and the XM radio feature. I also get the traffic reports that are linked into the detour function as well as weather forecasting.

I have a mount on my KLR 650 and I download Topographical maps when going offroad. I am not sure if the TT Rider has that capability.

I use it in conjuction with the J&M CB radio and J&M headset so I get stereo reception with the XM radio.

I do have a TT One that I won in a contest and using it doesn't seem as intuitive as the Garmin.

If you like the TT then more power to you and I think it's great we have choices for our own tastes.
