i got turned around pretty quick, parked the bike and walked back across the bridge. found it eventually in the outside of 2 lanes. i was on the inside lane when it fell off. poor old thing had been run over a number of times, but was still in one piece. the back clip was bent up and it played one line of a song [maroon 5... moves like jagger] before going to static and conking out.
that ipod has been with me for thousands of miles... its been to australia, bluff [thats a 2 week trip!], wellington, new plymouth, palmerston and many many miles in between. i am keeping it... dont know why. its worthless now.
went into town today to buy a new one, as i cant stomach not having one, plus im relying on it for entertainment when i go to canada. got a nice shiny blue one, and dad paid for it, which was unexpected.
so nice to have music again. amazing how much you miss it when you are used to having it all the time.
