Hope you did not feel I was giving you stick, The SatNav is a tool in your armoury and can give you upfront warning of a tight bend.
There are so many hazards out there that want to bite your arse, we need to use all that armoury to our best advantage.
Ride within your ability, if your uncertain drop 10 mph. I know all this stuff and of course its fine saying it sat on the sofa with my iPad on my lap, but we all make f--k ups and get it wrong from time to time.
Like you I have been around the bike scene a long time, I passed my bike test in 1966,
I have ended up in A & E a couple of times, so know some of the pitfalls of riding a motorcycle, but being complacent or overly confident will bite your bum sooner or later.
I think that riders today are probably better trained than we ever were, my bike test was a joke and to be honest my car test was not much better.
