Re: Motorcycles plus computers?
I have aq ASUS Eee PC that I carry on my long rides. It has a solid state hard drive in it, so no vibration worries. It has been over 14K miles already this year, and I am typing on it right now.

Re: Motorcycles plus computers?
The larger laptop I have carried for a long time also make two trips to Iraq and is till ticking has been replaced with a small 10.1 inch Acer. We will see how this thing does on the bike.
This thread must have put a bug in my head I was at Staple yesterday they had thing little net book just sitting there so I decided to to try it. I know the toughest notebook is the tough book for the Army I have seem them thing blow up and still work but they cost to much for the real world.

 I would never entertain the idea of taking my laptop with me on a bike trip. I take a trip to get away from the everyday rat race. I do take the bike to work on occasion and throw the laptop in the saddle bag or trunk, laptop is in a backpack. Like The Tank, I have a BlackBerry and that is all I need. |

Re: Motorcycles plus computers?
+1 on the iPhone. It has EVERYTHING that I need unless I need the laptop for work. I just purchased the mounting hardware from RAM Mounts (will be receiving it tomorrow) and plan on doing more with it since it has the GPS, maps, mp3 player, etc... It will make it much handier then toting the laptop.

Re: Motorcycles plus computers?
I take my 15" Apple MacBookPro on longer trips. I book accomodation, check weather and plan my route on Google Maps. I have even blogged my ride as I go. Can't ride 24/7.
I use a Pelican case.
