Re: Guitar Acquisition Syndrome

Nice ! If you have so many acoustics - you're obv not too shabby a player? I cannot play a note, but decided last year - to buy an object d'art in the form of a Gibson Les Paul. Does that make me a bad person for buying a guitar as art? It's on a minimalist stand in the living room. I might get arou...

Re: Replacing my Nav VI...

I think that Carpuride are pretty determined to prevail in the market, so I think they will address: 1) [color=#40BFFF]The interruption to power via Canbus or BMW adaptor (they might fit a battery or capacitor in a bespoke case that slots into the back of the BMW adaptor) 2) The current slightly ha...

Re: New job

Aye you said you were going there two months ago.

Triumph seem to be on a roll just now - so that ain't exactly a bad move.

Is it the usual 15% mate's rates we can expect? :wink:

Enjoy the work !

Re: Replacing my Nav VI...

Got one of these in the car, seems to work fine linked to my phone. The phone needs to be plugged in as it juices the battery but its great for the maps and easy to see. A few people have found that it isn't the navigation, but the music playing - that consumes the power and on nav alone - it is no...

Re: Replacing my Nav VI...

Well, I have bitten the bullet and gone for a CRAPURIDE too. I did wonder how fast it all syncs up with the phone and Cardo after a coffee stop (for example), but seems to be quick in test with the phone. Time will tell how quick it is with Cardo comms too. I've started to use MyRouteApp  routing an...

Re: Replacing my Nav VI...

There is now a Carpuride adaptor available which is a sandwich plate allowing direct fitment to the BMW/Garmin cradle to also utilise the power supply through the cradle. So - easily unmountable like the Zumos/Navs, but also chops the power, as before. AND- could allow you to retain your NAV unit un...

Re: Replacing my Nav VI...

Very interesting !

Was just discussing the likes of Myroute and Furkot yesterday with a pal and we drifted onto tablets on the bike/waterproofness and Carpuride units.

Carpuride could indeed be the way forward and to jump from NAV 5/6 while they are still worth some money - secondhand.

Re: All change part two.

I can see the attraction!

Lots of great biking roads there and in Spain - and the weather is the cherry on top.

Good luck with it all.

Re: All Change.....

:shock: Blimey Steve, KTM was short lived, good luck with the Triumph gig hopefully hear all about it in May Have to admit - I had an itch for a 1290GT, but the KTM niggles and infrastructure ultimately put me off. They make some great bikes, but I don't think they get the volume. The 1290SA 'seems...

Re: All Change.....

Good for you! (at least you're not trying to sell Harleys)

Triumph make great bikes.

Thought you might have been thinking about retirement?
