As an unemployed bum these days while searching for work, my time constraints are a little more flexible. But in the absence of rum I have to drain my wine reserves, tonight was Chardonnay Semillion, last night was a meaty Cab Sav.

Besides, it is only 1:30am, and that isn’t late at all.

I may have been a bit hasty with my anti TomTom remarks the other day, because as soon as I phoned them, I did get good help, but I still cannot get another bracket over here, I may have to buy a new one and have this faulty one replaced when I return home under warranty. It is still a system that cannot handle long term day by day use on normal roads on a motor bike. Why are you still up at this time of the morning btw, drinking rum again :)

Cheers TS

Maybe we should take on the likes of TomTom and Garmin and give them detailed instructions on how to build a proper motorbike ready sat nav.

That is the way I have looked at it as well. I also needed to sort out some stuff, like that TomTom issue, which may be sort of resolved after an international phone call last night my time. It is cold and pissing down with rain outside this morning, so I am not going anywhere today either, but it looks like an all day Map download so I can get Canada maps.

My liver will shrink, eventually:)

Cheers TravellingStrom

I have to say you are enjoying a much deserved break from the constant riding you’ve done. A few days “rest” will do your spirits good, even if your liver has to suffer a little.
