[NTLK] Mobile Newton Project?

Has anyone ever tried mounting a newton on a bike, motorcycle, or
dashboard for better access while traveling? I wonder about this from
time to time and have an extra 2100 that I could use for such an
effort. If this could be done in a way that the newton was able to
handle the shocks likely to be received, it seems like it would be
more handy for looking up travel/contact/schedule info in a hands
free way that would be safer. I can see a number of problems with the
idea but am curious if anyone has examples where it has been tried.
The best one I can think of is Steve Roberts microship adventures
(http://microship.com/).
In my case, I have this big green dual-purpose motorcycle and it just
seems like a natural combination.

Thanks, Dale
p.s. Meanwhile, I'm screening Fahrenheit 911 today and will report
any newton cameo appearances there...
