wish they would include it in Tyre.
What did you get Lance? I'm so far happy with my car nav on the bike but if I cannot get an extension bar to raise it up a bit I may be tempted to buy a bike-specific one that I know comes with one in the kit.

Took the fairings off to put them back correctly after the genius that fitted originally decided to use the radiator mounts at the bottom.

i got a garmin nuvi 55lm cheep out of halfuds then took it apart and waterproofed it. in some ways its better than my old one but in others its worse, the screen is not as bright and it wont 'auto route' if i miss a waypoint as it wants to keep going back there. the good points are its mega fast at loading up when i start the bike. i have a dedicated USB charger hard wired into the bike connected to my gizmo so when i turn the bike on/off the spaznav also turns on/off.

garmin's new mapping only allows 26 waypoints on the old settings in tyre and the new settings are not right.

Nothing bike related. Just fixing a broken fence post. Treated myself to a Lidl SDS drill, it made short work of breaking up the concrete.
