I would do that but...If I put my cheap computer on trip distance or trip time, there is a chance I can zero it out when I stop for things like photos. The change function button in on the front of the unit and it hits my leg when the handlebar swings to the left. Really a bad design. I had a shop in Missoula install it sight unseen before a tour in '11. For the first half of the first day I couldn't figure out why the computer kept re-setting, then I got it. To avoid this, I have to display wither the odometer or the clock, which still gives me TMI on a regular basis. I leave for Missoula for a 9-day tour on Thursday. I am seriously considering brining some electrical tape to cover up the screen.
