I assume it is your missus, but I'm sure no one else on this forum was thinking that....where has NK gone to. We are still in the throes of winter here, even though it was about 20 C here yesterday, and raining...can't wait until Spring...
Nice scenery

GPS is a 4.7" Navman MY50T. Bought a cheap $10 GPS case from Aldi (came with mounting hardware for handlebar). Does the job, waterproof (as proven by the rain flogging down on our descent down Mt Dorrigo during the recent trip). A bit hard to view with glare at times, so i made a makeshift shade hat for it, just velcro's onto the protective case...
