Rally on...                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
Welcome to the Busted Compass, come and sit around our campfire for awhile. Take off your warpaint and bench race with us under the stars. It's been a long day, hot and dusty, perhaps muddy and rutty too - but now's a good time to just pull up and relax, and swap tales of adventure. We may not be getting any younger, but they haven't thrown dirt over ME yet - not for keepsies anyway. And I have seen more than one old buzzard get up from underneath a mushroom cloud when it seemed like he could be going down for a Dirt Nap.  There are no easy miles off-road, and if there were, then all the weiners would want to do it. No Squids - Happy Raids... and   NEVER GIVE UP.

"Stovey,
Wrote up a little report on your thread! Absolutely the best little item to protect the Garmin 60 series! Thank you for the great service, product, and help! I could not be any happier with your product! Now I need to clean up the bike and get some good pics of the cradle so I can post them!"

Meet "The Buzzards."  When you wake up in the middle of the night and you are absolutely CERTAIN you simply have to cross that desert, navigate that rock garden, circumnavigate the Tetons, crawl through a minefield or storm a fortress - these are the kind of people you want to say "YES" when you are pleading for some fool to contemplate joining you.
