New bike, new possibilities

I've got myself a BMW R1200GS Adventure! I'm due to pick it up on Wednesday and can't wait!

I've already got a project in mind for it; a little electronics add-on...

And I'll have space for my iPhone/SatNav now too :-)

An awesome piece of engineering.

...and it looks amazingly similar to mine, but I cheated; using a existing case. Note the LED work light (telescopic fold-away), old computer PSU from my collection of crap and a battery powered soldering iron (OK for light duty work). This is a pic of me using it at Super Happy Dev Club meet #17.
