Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I keep my stock toolkit, microfiber towel, zip ties, a lighter, extra earplugs and eye drops, and a $20 stashed in the trunk.

I lost my wallet the other day when i was riding. Damn thing fell out of my pocket somehow.

Cost me $30 for a new liscense since i had to overnight it. Wallet and other stuff are going into my tank bag from now on.

 

I usually keep it in my cargo pants pocket since it has velcro and stays closed. Though I have often ridden with it in my back pocket but haven't had any mishaps yet. Not that I ride much on the street anymore.

 

I always have both.

The drz has 0 storage whatsoever. I just ride with a backpack and keep all my pockets in check.

 

This is a good idea. I need to put some money in my trunk too.

Anyone else get peeved when the forecast says 60% chance of rain and it stays dry the entire day?

 

Absolutely

 

I'll drive my truck to work and when I leave I'm sitting there like "dammit, I could have ridden to work today!"

 

That has happened to me twice this week! Now she's got to sit in the garage for another whole week while we're on vacation. Poor neglected girl...

 

The one time this season I've gambled on the rain, I had to leave work about 30 minutes early because I had a bad feeling. 10 minutes after I put the bike up, TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR.

One poor sap got caught in it on his Ninja 250

Actually this was when I decided to take my sig pic haha

 

Love my Gunner! On a Veterans' Ride-

 

Stage 1, added passenger necessities, tool roll and home-made tactical saddlebags. A Dart Flyscreen will be on there this coming Monday.
Bike is fun, easy to ride, inexpensive and fits me like glove!

 

It annoys me more when it's a 5/10% chance and i get poured on during the ride home. Go the point where I have to take everything out my wallet for a few days to dry.

 

Oh that sucks. That's some water falling for sure. I was caught once this year. 0% chance of rain but leaving for lunch I noticed the black sky headed my way. I pulled over to check the radar and made the decision to try to take the bike home, 20min ride, but got caught in it. It was a monsoon! All of this on a 0% chance day.

 

nice victory. i like the fat front tire

 

Thanks!

 

Take the motorcycle to the beach!

We would but we don't have a trailer big enough to haul both. Then we would argue who gets to ride and who gets to haul the trailer. It's a vicious cycle. Have to take a vehicle to haul our gear. Haha

 

Braaaaaaaaaap!

And naturally a mile from getting back to the truck I almost wipeout somehow.

I always take my wallet but if for some reason I forgot it, there is $20 under the rear seat cowl with the owners manual. Because you never know.
