Brilliant Kenny, I will be taking my 1963 Montesa Impala for an airing, (like you say, weather permitting, can't go getting it wet!!!)   regards, Jim

  Sounds like you hit on a great idea there, why not come along to Almanzora village tomorrow for the Moto gathering, 10 am, bar Corrilo, sure the trike would create a stir and you could blast out some sounds on the ride out!! regards, Jim

Had a mini brain wave today (maybe others have thought of it but I didn't before) that I'd like to share.

I have a Trike and tried to use my car sat nav (TomTom Go 920) with a waterproof handle bar case. The only problem was that I couldn't see the screen in sunlight and you can't get a bluetooth headset connection without having the motorcycle version of TomTom (Rider) or Garmin (Zumo 350). Both these units are VERY expensive.

I recently bought a Shark Motorbike music system and now I find I can connect my TomTom Go with an audio cable directly into the music amplifier. With 1000 watts of music power I can now listen to Satnav directions (and so can any bystander!) without looking at the screen and all at a price which pays for a standard car Satnav AND a music system at a cost lower than the dedicated motorbike Satnavs.
