Angry Laconia mouse rant

So i returned from Laconia last week. My road tech 660 GPS started to not work so i figured it was a dealer install error since they did all the work with the NIM and all that. They took it apart and a mouse chewed my GPS main wire harness at the campsite in Laconia. I even saw the moue up there at the campsite on the day the GPS started having problems. I now put it all together. So this was my remembrance of the best year in a very long time for NH. I set out traps when i got home but haven't caught anything here near my toy hauler. So the mouse stayed in NH. He ate my bike then took off. So 190 bucks later i'm back in business. I wish there was a way to block the holes behind the fairing going up into all the wiring. Just a rant to see if anyone else have ever have it happen to them. Jeff

At least all he chewed were gps wires. Could have been way worse ...

That really sucks! Never had that happen but once at work, a computer stopped working. After our main guy couldn't figure out the problem, we called in a tech. Guess what. A mouse had chewed through the mouse cable. He killed our computer and himself. That's irony!

Bummer, I had one chew through the electric cord on an outside refrigerator and made my beer get warm, damn it. Rat bait and haven't seen or had any problem since!
