    KTM Adventure simple GPS mount

    I was going to buy the really nice gps mount. But I couldn't bring myself to spending $80+. Then when I gave in to the price it was not available or difficult to obtain. The RAM mount is okay. I needed to change it up to something that didn't vibrate. Only need to spray or black.

    Anyone remember this ride back in 2003?

    I remember it being one of the most fun rides that I've been on. That breakfast setup in this open field. Was cold and raining but it was a great time. I'm assuming things like this can't happen anymore for various reasons.
