It's just convenient Gary. It saves digging out the laptop to read posts.

I'd need a magnifying glass as well as my reading glasses if I was to use my phone to visit the Org

My tablet is a happy medium.

That's right. As Sir Trev says it's easier to navigate on a tablet especially if you're sat on a sofa like I am now

John have you looked into newer styles of forums? They don't need tapatalk at all, it automatically converts when you are on a phone/tablet to make look like tapatalk in terms of size and readability.

I managed to get out for an hour or so on the VFR this afternoon. My first proper ride of the season due to weather and other acts of God. I wanted to enjoy my last few weeks with this machine as it's still a fabulous thing to ride. Also the new Metzeler Sportec se01 tyres I had fitted recently are impressive. Felt very similar to the Michelin Road 4's and better than the continental road attack 3's. Loads of feel and light accurate steering.

When I was at school, the tradition among the group of us who had bikes at 17 was that when anyone in the group was selling their bike, we'd all have a final blast on it around the local 'circuit'.

I think we Border Patrol orgers should do the same with the VFR
