From one minor hiccup to another

A sort of an update after my mishaps in Wales.
  New seat arrived within eighteen hours of notifing the supplier.- super , slick service
 My helmet is about to be fixed by BMW who have sent a whole front piece as a replacement - just going to take somebody a while to strip the helmet down and sort it.   In the meantime I snapped the flip top face panel down and chopped off the microphone from my Autocom headset -  at least I know I can get in touch with the supplier as they have already fixed my PTT switch which jammed after two days use.
 However, Garmin UK are a different ball game - lots of adverts all over the place, in garages, petrol stations, etc, but I have rung them several times, fifteen minutes on a premium rate line - who is the silly works here -   typical,  ring a sales line and get an immediate response, call a customer services manager - different game.    Many thanks to Steve Bolton, his wife and daughter who drove the road last weekend looking for the lost Garmin.
I would have hoped that if someone found it and it was working that the Garmin computer would have been able to identify it if they tried to plug it in !!   Bit like Sky TV.

Dougz popped up on the screen this week looking for chums to go for a ride out,  but I have been otherwise occupied. But there is another rally planned for Carlisle which looks interesting.
