Something I have been moaning about for a while. Apparently a German driver is facing a ban after crashing and the court decided the display was equivalent to using a mobile phone

I reckon using a hands-free mobile is not much different to chatting to a passenger in a car or shouting at the kids in the back.

Infotainment systems are simply lethal!

Even the SpaceX pod has a wrist rest because they realised it's impossible to accurately use a touch screen whilst bopping about or even when not bopping about, given the bopping is quite a short and auto-piloted period.

But even that in the cars isn't right. Until we have dynamic textured screens this stuff is dangerous. Every Tesla I've been in i marvel at how stupid a design that screen is. Never mind the OCD drivers crashing whilst hysterically trying to remove the finger prints!

Not sure what was going on last evening / night because I went out for a run which turned into 200 miles of fun on almost empty dry roads in hot sunshine. Everyone else seemed to have somewhere else to be. I found some new good roads and revisited a few others, and bagged Bodmin moor, Dartmoor and Exmoor with great views. Every now and again you get lucky I suppose. As opposed to another run I went on a couple of weeks ago which has been commemorated with a special letter from the Devon and Cornwall boys in blue. Obviously they took some time out from dealing with the 25% increase on crime figures and 999 calls to brush up on their photography skills. And my licence (which I had just cut in half and sent off for its 10 year update) had just achieved the almost forgotten status of nil pwan. Good days bad days

Why didn't your sat nav squawk at you to tell you there was a notified camera site coming up?

Lemme guess...oh, that's right, you use maps  8)

Well, that depends on if it was a notified site and lots of lay-by's are. It's true that coppers can set up anywhere unlike camera vans.

I guess you were just unlucky that our one bike cop just happened to be in your county that day   ::)

Cartainly will have. As a general rule, if it is day or night, weekday or weekend and warm or cool then the kettle will be on. Simples!

Oh, and be warned, between last Friday evening and Monday midday, some idiot managed to transform the whole of Ledbury town into a 20mph zone.

I'm just saying, it being new and with your propensity for attracting the wrong arm of the law  :D

Sindered is a huge (colosal) mistake on this bike . And as I remember you're a fast rider.
The battery issue on the other hand cannot understand when the symptom occur , with new battery after starting engine and after 20 miles? Or immediately empties the battery after 2  miles and stalls ?

I recall you saying that about sintered pads before but that is what was recommended by the brembo supplier when I replaced the discs. My dealer had put BMW pads in at service  without asking and there was a marked deterioration in performance.  Now on back on the sintered I'm getting more bite and the discs have cleaned up.
As for being a fast rider well we will find that out next month on the group run. Just  because I get caught more often doesn't make fast unfortunately...

A new battery has fixed the problem now.

Jeepers! Are you taking the 12 on the Wrinklies or the 13?

Talking of which, I suppose you are spending the Sunday night in Shropshire. Either way, fancy meeting up for the rest of the journey to the frozen Lakes?

Planning to take the 12 and with a bit of pottering this week should see 100k somewhere on the wrinklies. Should have been on it up to Shropshire last week  but was persuaded to take the q5 in light of the weather forecast. Which was wrong.
Have not decided whether to break journey to wigton. Probably weather dependent. Will let you know.
