Thought I messed up big time at one point but only 3 minors in the end :D

I was so sick today and almost did not go training/test today but carried on and the sickness blocked my nerves overreacting lol.

Just happy I can use my XJ 600 and on motorways (scary).
 
Cheers I will check out MCN.

Looking at sat navs for bikes and ouch almost £300.
I did look for used tomtomv4 but nothing so far, any other sat navs good ?

Thanks.
 
It's a 2001 xj so nothing special lol.

I was thinking of a car satnav and a cover case but was never sure how good it would work out.

I will have a good look about see what cheap but good ones are.
Do have to pay for updated maps each year or something now?
 
Yeah the Tomtom rider does seem nice but double the price of a car tomtom.

I have to think that one over but if I had the extra money I would buy it just at this time £300 a lot.
 
Well I went half with the wife so £60 and got a tomtom go 500.
She use when we going long disant family days out in the car.

And if it turn out not to be very good it's only £60 but my wife still get her sat nav lol.
Then I would buy the bike version but for £60 I will give it a go.
 
Thanks Craig321.

I got the tomtom go 500 today so far seems good and for only paying half it works out even better lol.

Dame bike failed the MOT today as the rear brake caliper was leaking fluid time I got there.
When I bring the bike back to them he said I don't have to pay for the mot again.
Is this normal do they give so many days to fix problems?
 
@Craig321 I am bit of a noob when it comes to bike maintenance but learning as I go lol.

@Stovepipes (good luck on mod 1) I ordered a cheap case from amazon half price ay the moment.
The BDM Cycle / Bike / Bicycle & Motorbike Waterproof holder mount and case

I will test it with water without the sat nav and if it's no good I will get better one like the one you linked.

That headset looks nice I will get something like that when I got the money just need to be sure the bike got everything to pass the mot now lol.

Thanks.
 
I think the main problem I see when using a car sat nav or phone is the waterproof cases and how good it is keeping out the rain.

£300 is a lot to me but I guess you are paying for that all weather sat nav and if I had the money I would get one myself :D
 
I got into a habit of pressing the indicator switch few times after I used it to double check it's off.

Another guy doing his mod 2 said he just looks down to check but I think that is not a good idea lol

Fitted the sat nav today seems ok but will give it the water test later.

Sorry to hear that but the second time is a lot easier I found as you know bit more.
I paid £195 for days training + test so it was a lot of money to get again but that extra day helped me a lot.

@The_Abyss I do like that tomtom mostly for the simple clip it on and go.
