    Had to wait until it cooled down this evening (if 27C can be considered cool)
    before venturing out on the Tiger.

    The back-lit switches are a welcome addition and the Triumph Connectivity sat-nav worked no problem at all.
    Title (1).jpg
    It's a basic system with just a direction arrow indicating your next turn or a roundabout symbol with the exit number shown, plus countdown to turn, road name, ETA and distance to go.

    Beautiful, Steve! :):sun: That new bike is pretty good looking, too. ;) :cool:

    Interesting info, impressions, and pics of the Triumph Connectivity system as well. Thanks!

    Very peaceful. Is that a dry lake bed in the background?
    Never been in that country.

    Yes, a great picture Steve and lovely looking bike. You ventured along the (Police patrolled) A272 yet on the new bike?

    In all fairness Jez, you might have lost your soul to riding but ffs don’t ever loose your mental humour as there’s just no one with anything close on here!! E

    No mate, nothing so exotic - just a ploughed, flint covered farmers field! o_O

    Not yet! I tend to avoid the A272/A32 on weekends - too many crotch rockets trying to make as much noise as possible and congregating on Loomies! :confused:

    Nice one Steve, every time I see that bike I get a pang of jealousy! I’m probably going to do the same with Tracey tonight. As the Triumph satnav thing works so well will you be selling your Garmin? I might know someone who needs a decent one:p mind you he won’t pay a lot!

    Nice pics Steve but there's one missing and that's the plate full of fried food. You on a diet or what ? :confused::D

    Cheers mate - I suppose I do have a spare Garmin satnav now - any poor pensioner out there want to buy one that works? :joy::joy:
    He may not have paid a lot but he didn't half moan about it! :D:D

    the road heading north out of Overton can be pleasant, there's a nice long straight bit passing the farm :)
