    It got me lost!
    Which as it happens is the whole reason for owning one of these. Go out with the intention of getting lost is always fun!

    Yeah, there are a couple going, the Cx as well....I thought I might get one for the aprilia if it suits pricewise. I already have the mounts
    and the hard wiring kit in my gps store...

    It went for a ridiculous price....$430!
    Finding a shipper to NZ on Ebay is difficult, only want to ship in the USA most of them...But as luck would have it -
    I have bought one off Ebay for $195 NZD, includes a 1Gb sd card too...Shipping will add another $50-60, so still ahead of the game.
    As I have the Ram mount, the diamond plate, the cables to hard wire, should be a worthwhile attachment to the aprilia.

    Further to this, the guy cancelled the transaction stating he wouldn't ship to NZ even though the add stated he would....
    from him.
