jeremyr62 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Screen resolution is very poor compared to the phone screens we are now used to. I used to use the old TomTom app on an IPhone and it was great. Listening to podcasts was easy. Now you have to pair your headset to the Satnav and phone if you want services. It’s alll a bit clunky and a step back. I wish I had just stuck with the phone and TomTom app. However the winding roads on the app is very limited compared to the 550. Which ultimately is why I bought the 550. Maybe it will grow on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted June 23, 2018 Author Member Contributer Share Posted June 23, 2018 I saw that while "inspecting" the unit, but horses for courses (and a price ). Compared to my (I think 7 year old) GARMIN Nuvi 410 (which did suffer some damage in my 2016 crash) it is a step up. Whoes looking at the mantle piece anyway while poking the fire... coming week hoping for some time to use in earnest/bright sun to see how she performs.

Member Contributer St. Stephen Posted June 29, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted June 29, 2018 Three comments, in reverse order: 1. You are going to have a GREAT weekend. It looks like even the Assen weather is on your side! Assen is at the top of my list of motogp tracks I haven't been to (which is most of them), I'm jealous. Looking forward to more pics Leon. 2. I continue to thoroughly enjoy your attempts to turn the RC-51 into a sport-tourer. 3. I saw UB40 live in the 80's, great band! 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted July 2, 2018 Author Member Contributer Share Posted July 2, 2018 Tasty weekend!!! (Iannone and Rins signed my jacket) How the other half lives.... Tasty 2.0 Tasty makes thirsty..... Plenty reprieve... They still do 2-ups at Ducati Met my "driver" from 2016 again Had The GOAT sign as well I did well methink.... 🙂 The Dutch crowd loves Rossi; he's won here a couple of times Overhead shots... You'd think it was St Patrick's day eh? OK, racing! You lead your teammate all race, only for him to overtake you in the very last turn, the famous Geert Timmer Chicane. Makes you not happy does it now... The GT is where the chancers take their chance... Saw Rossi make "the GT move" a couple of times and for a brief moment, all was well in the world 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted July 2, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted July 2, 2018 I bet the crowd did roar at that...briefly! Dovi was ready for it, though. Sounds like you had a great time--and fantastic weather, too. ㊗️ Ciao, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted July 3, 2018 Author Member Contributer Share Posted July 3, 2018 Yeah Rossi made a great move, only to give it away at the next turn. Dovi did well to use the Duc's powerrrrrrrrrrrrr, plant next to Rossi, who overplayed his hand and ran wide..... (good thing that there is plenty room in that turn, I had to use that myself once too..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmythecop Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I found a box under a box inside a box under two boxes with RC51 stuff in it. All yours when I get around to shipping it. (no u.s. branch of family visiting NL this year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
