Title: Phone Charging on the go
Post by: dickturpin on 14 May 2016, 12:30:26 am: Does anyone charge their phone while travelling?... Looking for ideas, could just carry a USB power pack and charge in pocket. Alternatively charge under the seat from a 12v socket I have but concerned about vibration on the phone.
Any ideas?

12v charger wired into the bikes harness.
Do you attach the phone to the bike or via a lead to your pocket?
