Default Motorcycle or Helicopter cockpit??

Gents, Ive recently upgraded to a new (to me) 2006 Electra Glide. Even a 2006 is cool for me, with all the fairing mounted gauges and ****. Im used to a 1) Speedo and 2)...................a speedo.

I started searching tonight for a handlebar mounted GPS. I wanted something small and unobtrusive. I came across THIS monstrosity....



Honestly, do people really ride and enjoy the road with all this crap? It looks like a fukin attack helicopter. seriously, how can you settle in and enjoy the ride with 38 different buttons to play with and a damn slurpee attachment???? WHY??? WHO???? And that cell phone? What is this, 1997?

Get on your bike , listen to that sweet sound of thunder and follow the sun until you find your piece ! Does anyone really need technology ?? especially that much ..

A few times in traffic I have wished for a machine gun or rocket launcher.....

I like my Road King with its speedometer.
