    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.

    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.

    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?

    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 :)
