Great little RR, thanks for that. The amazing thing is that you actually managed to get a nod from a GS rider!

I use our XL size Tom Tom from the car on my bike no probs. it zips into a little water resistant case (mounts on h/bars so protected by the screen anyway) that bolts on. Only cost £10. Works fine with gloves.

Insurance ? That lot will set you back £1000's The accident took place in far, far eastern Turkey, near to the border with Armenia and Iran.

Never tried a beaded cover, seen them and I've got to say IMHO they look pretty naff? I wore my cycling shorts under my draggin jeans for my recent 500 miles through France on the not too comfy Tiger. Definitely helped.
