I think we're more likely to see the new One first before the Rider, which is kind of stupid as the One is based on the Rider. It's a bit like releasing the sequel to a film before the original one has been shown Rolling Eyes

Yes - I was at the NEC Trade Day yesterday and can confirm that TomTom have the Rider. I can't recall the stand number, but it is very close to the Race Paddock area.

The device looks rather good, but they'd let themselves down with the bar mounts as the two example bikes had the thing flapping around like Marlyn Monroe's skirt in that famous photograph.

I think we have to jog darrens elbow to remind him that the rider is on sale at the NEC and that he is the one that has been trialing the rider so his is the reveiw that we are all waiting for . It must be time for the non disclosure clause to be removed

So DARREN where is the reveiw

DARREN

Do you think he heard us

Guy's, I don't need my memory jogging about the RIDER. I'm itching to tell all but we are not yet able to. The embargo is still in force but I am in contact with TomTom to see what gives.

TomTom have responded, whilst RIDER was announced at the NEC and is on display at the show it is not for sale. It will be available in shops in December (UK).

When I talked to tomtom at the NEC, they said that the reason why it was taking so long was checking they where waterproof. Lets hope that they don't leak!!!!!

Darren should know.

hmm a non waterproof motobike GPS in SUNNY SCOTLAND could be a £600 lead weight.
