However, I do intend to try a bit of touring—maybe to Philip Island with you Pterodactyl, if I may and it works—and I want to be able to use a GPS in unfamiliar cities. I'm not sure about music, but never say never. I've recently started wearing earplugs to keep the wind noise at bay, but I figure a Bluetooth system may work in tandem with that. I have some over-ear NC headphones which are as useful on the bike as an ash tray, but they are fabulous for air travel and I know they work quite well just to blot out other noise, so maybe they're a good option.

Thanks again for the advice fellas. Appreciated.

The reference to the trip maybe not working is a reference to the sorry truth that, although I try not to work every now and again something comes up that is a bit interesting and I can't refuse. There's a vague possibility hovering at the moment that may put the kybosh on October rides.

Let's make it work.

Go to a Bose shop and try the QC20i model. If you like them RRP is about AUD 390 with airline adaptor. Interesting to see what best price is in the States.

Cheers
