Maybe he's talking about timed rally events where you have to get to each checkpoint as close to the exact time as possible? Knowing exact speed and distance is important to those guys.
That being said, since the second GPS is only used occasionally, a RAM type mount would be a good temporary solution on those days.

Mount GPS on the Left
DK - you wanted to mount a GPS on the left side. Here's one that mounts to the clutch assembly. There's also one that attaches to the mirror stem if that suits you better. You didn't mention what brand GPS, but here's a link: http://www.leadermotorcycle.com/gps-...?sort=priceasc (any that are titled "for Harley" mounts to the brake or clutch - reversible design)

any one remember when you could only use maps and a stopwatch for a rally? So they're plug and play now?
following the GPS, where's the challenge?
Hoping that someone took a wrong turn made it more enjoyable.

Sounds like you guys like to stop, not ride...
Hell, I don't even like to stop for gas, let alone to ask for directions.
That's fine. You stop and leave the ridin' to us...
Just kidding, but really... This guys is trying to figure out how to ride more, and you think that's somehow bad.

Okay...the second GPS,simple really. Fisrt GPS I plan my route (Rally type event), this is my main route all way points and this stuff must be calculated very precisely, and as accurately as possible. So this GPS will show me my arrival time to my next stop and distance and all the great info, but if I am ahead or behind and I need to change my route or consider changing my route the second GPS can have a second set of way points loaded to speed up the route changes. Having the phone just allows me to see callers and such, sorry business requires me to answer the phone. Bluetooth does allow the Garmin to work with the phone but the quality of sound is horrible. On the Rally types rides that I enjoy routing is one of the most important things, daily rides the second or even the first GPS is not necessary.

Its funny thinking back now but most of the ones in our area were held on the Blue Ridge Pkwy and the check points were in the pulloffs....Some challenge there, right?
