Being overtaken by a car? Hmmm!

Haha.. I know I know...

if you're down that way you should also pop into Compton Abbas Airfield. You could go via ZigZag hill, for no other reason than to say you've done it. Nice view from Spreadeagle hill too.

I went for a ride to Gillingham today, down past Salisbury.

My first stop was lunch at the Old Brewery Cafe and Kitchen, just coming out the west side of Gillingham. Here.
Review: Nice bikes to look at, but a bit lacking soul somehow. Scampi and chips was alright.

Then I headed back to a place I spotted on the way, The Rising Sun, Shaftesbury. Here.
Review: It has on its logo "coffee tavern" so I had to take a look. It's a pub owned by a nice couple, the husband used to ride motorcycles. I had a nice chat and a decent coffee. Highly recommend! They also do lunch and the usual pub things. Next time I'll lunch there.

Ah yeah the camera res is rude at 1080. You'd still need to remember a reg plate as they drove over your legs and away.

The rear view thing made me laugh when I saw it on their site. One of these things I'd have to experience to have any authority to crit/credit! Like nuclear war.

For me the following makes it worth it alone

1. Front and rear dash cams recording continually from start up. ( even kicks in if bike is tampered with)
2. Rear view mirror function is a game changer and very reassuring to see exactly whats behind me. I have wide shoulders and cant see shit behind me in the bikes mirrors. Also has a Blind spot warning which Im still in 2 minds about given the position of the screen. But it did alert me to a car undertaking me that I wasn't aware of there so I guess it does work. You can have it set to either or visual and audible warning

I don't see the need to upgrade the unit with every new phone because the basic functions of android auto will remain the same... calls, sat nav, music etc. the only need I foresee to upgrade would be for 4k cameras eventually.

Having a fully responsive screen that gives me access to all the functions of android auto without having to faff around with my actual phone and then easily switching between sat nav and rear view mirror etc has been really useful.
