It is amusing these days, stopping at a gas station in the middle of nowhere, to see a bunch of grizzled, dusty, leather-clad bikers all pull cell phones out from their packs. Travelling on a scoot with electronic gear, including cell phones, PDA’s, laptops and camera gear is becoming common. Such equipment can be very fragile, thus posing some unique problems when travelling, especially on a Harley where the vibrations are rather unfriendly to delicate equipment.

HogWired is being published in a number of HOG Chapter newsletters and in the Harley Rendezvous paper.  Hopefully will also be picked up by a large bike magazine in the near future!
