check out www.hackaday.com there is a link there about a guy who put a computer on his motorcycle. You can get a small foorprint single board computer about 600Mhz for under $100, then of course you add on the power converter (run off your battery too!!).

I think its cool. Im toying with the idea meself, now that I got rid of the rear fender and have some more space under the seat.

that looks awsome, and holds tons of potential, i was toying with the idea myself, but for a much later progect. hack a day is one of my favorite web sites.
sorry about not updating, i have final exams coming up so i have not had too much time. i got a 3d program from a friend, so ill be throwing up my ideas in that and probably post some screen shots.
that will be after the finals and after i learn how to use the 3d program :P
