    Lovely new bike @andyc1! I have travelled lots and lived in a fair few places, but have to say that the Antrim coastline is one of the most beautiful places there is, gorgeous roads to ride I am sure.

    Spin up towards Bowness then down the Lythe Valley road:grinning::grinning: back A590. Nipped to Arnside for a brew stop. Was lovely on the front but cold out on the pier so didn't sit there long!
    The speed with which the tide comes in and out there is scary.

    First ride when the bike has really felt "mine" if you know what I mean. Fantastic! Tried downshifting with the quick shifter for the first time-won't be doing that again in a hurry.o_O

    Looks a nice run out ! Good news the bike is feeling like yours now.
    My technique for down shifts is to still use the clutch but on a completely shut throttle just toe the bike down the gears one at a time and it will auto blip for you . Or mine does. Saves having to blip the throttle whilst on the brakes. Seems to work for me ..!

    It might need a tweek of calibration again by the dealer?
    Mine has been flawless down shifting with no crashes or banging etc?

    I had a lovely solo ride into Wales today; it's easy to know when the border has been crossed from Herefordshire and back again without reading the signs....the road surface is 100% improved :laughing:. I found a lovely road for part of the route that I'd not been on before - smooth surface, hilly, twisty and quiet; I had it pretty much to myself in my direction...everyone else seemed to be heading the opposite way!!

    The scenery was beautiful but I'm not really one for stopping for photos when I am enjoying the feeling of riding my bike and soaking up the views, so there are just some photos of my two stops (first one just a quick one to send @Helmut Visor a photo of what I was up to today :p and the second at the Oasis Sandwich Bar at Abergavenny bus station; it was busy today as you'd expect with the gorgeous sunshine and there were a few interesting bikes there too).

    After I got home, I was fiddling with the display but cannot seem to get the fuel status to show in the info tray. Trip meters, coolant, service etc but no fuel. It is tucked to show it when I go into home. Am I missing something (yes I know, my fuel status:joy:)?

    Have you got the "newer" display that comes with the sat nav module?
    If so, certain layouts don't have it on there but if not, then I think its on all of them?

    Don't think so, not seen any mention of sat Nov. Sure I saw it when I rode the bike home...

    Took Hugh to my local dealer. Shame this one is almost an hour away when Hughenden M40 was only 25 minutes away. Thanks Triumph, your geographical meddling with dealer locations over the last few years was NOT appreciated...

    On the plus side I finally got to see and sit on a Tiger Sport 660. It fits me very well size wise so next time I get a day to myself I'll book a test ride. Shame there is no rail for nav mounting (the screen height handle does not look strong enough) and the back end follows the baffling modern trend of looking pre-crashed, but I'll hold off deciding until I try it on the road.

    It's nice to be out and about again.
