Re: RIOTD...
Stopped by the other week for a look, as I had heard someone was ‘starting’ to revamp into a house - but still looks the same. I think the authorities need to be quite ‘understanding’ in its conversion and also allowing trees around it to be cleared better. It would be a tragedy to allow it to crumb...

Re: Mulling over ...
The HP2s is ‘special’…………. Been threatening to sell mine for last couple of years, now - as I just seldom get a chance to ride it. Now - all standard apart from the HP4 mirrors. Think the mileage is still below 6k and still qualifies for BMW warranty, I believe. I guess you have ridden one before, S...

Re: Ex RC8
Jeeez! Not to diminish your injuries - which are significant. At least they are what I would term ‘bread & butter’ injuries for the surgeons! Broken ribs are touch and go, of course - and any ‘flying through the air’ incident - is luck of the draw on result. Sounds like you are making slow recov...

Re: Europe tour advice
I’ve had a SANEF tag for a few years now - if you are doing peage miles, it is bloody handy. Go through a Class 1 toll? You can contact them online retrospectively, and when they see your journey is Class 5 for other sections - they alter the charge! Try getting your fingers back in your waterproof ...

Re: Replacing my Nav VI...
I had my phone on live maps/live routing using MRA - for 6hrs. It uses a good chunk of battery (iPhone 13Max) - linked to the Carpuride. Should be better offline but I’m of the opinion that you don’t want to run your phone battery down on a bike ride, in UK or abroad. If you have to arrange any reco...

Re: Replacing my Nav VI...
I think for battery drain, it can be partially alleviated by running on downloaded maps and/or downloaded routes. You can download MRA maps in areas, as you can do with google. Modern phones- the space the maps take are insignificant. I plan on trying that option in France, to reduce roaming charges...

Re: Replacing my Nav VI...
Just an update. I cut a couple of pieces out of the packaging foam and stuck each to the BMW Nav adaptor and rescrewed the Unit to the adaptor - just to possibly smooth out any tendency to vibrate. I think my pal has done similar. Not sure if absolutely necessary, and wouldn't be on the 5" mode...

For the Meta - see here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=b9lU5axNLrA There's also a load of wiring schematics online - google "META 357T wiring diagram" Datatools - I had all the guff on, META - no. Also - if you have a multi-meter with needle-probe attachments - makes easy...

Ooo very nice Al, sign up to a local tutor for a half hour a week it'll do wonders and it's a shame for such an instrument to not be played
You know what - you are absolutely right. That is something for this autumn/winter.

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?
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...
