Or is it good this way? If you have a SD card in your Garmin, the best thing to do is to configure it to record one point per second (record method: time, interval: 1 sec). If you use a 1 GB card, you won't have to worry about downloading the tracks for months. > One last question if anyone here is knowledgeable enough in electronics. > The GPS is powered with AA batteries, which is good (I don't have often > easily electricity plugs as I don't stay in hotels, most often).

I think the best option is to visit your favourite motorcycle shop and say "I want to use an USB thingie in my motorcycle".
