Nice work Tony. Thanks for posting that.
I'm currently looking for gps mounting options as well. I've been old-school too, w/ the maps & compass BUT riding in desert climates, stopping to read a map to find a somewhat accurate position, can be a little uncomfortable. When the temps are 100+, even stopping for just a couple of minutes can be excrusiating while wearing gear. That being said, the military taught me to be redundant in my planning. In that, while using gps, I'll still carry my map case & compass. ;-)

As a 19/20 year old lad at the time, I found the GPz a definate distraction, but it sure was a wanted one!
Siiiigh. I miss those days
Oh, and just to add- neither of those were mine; I never did get to own a Kwak, I was a primarily a Honda guy, but loved all bikes.

Sure I did - just because he can't spell GPS doesn't mean it's any clearer

Uh...seriously?
He typo'd GPz instead of GPS, stating it was an "unwanted distraction"
You don't find the tiniest bit of humour in the play on words of a GPz being a "wanted distraction"?
Being a bike loving kinda guy, GPz instantly brought forth fond memories of lusting after them in the early eighties.
*shrug* I didn't think it was that much of a stretch.
