The saddle bags look better, but it really depends on whether you want something to leave on the bike or something that you can take on/ off and carry like a bookbag.

 

I wouldn’t be leaving either on full time. The saddle bags should be pretty easy to take off. I don’t believe there’s any mounts for them, it’s just a throw over. So it should just go under the seat and all it takes to remove is taking the seat bolt off. Other downside to the bag is that if I take my girlfriend on there when I decide to get pegs for her, the bag would be off

 

I have this one, cheap and works well for me. I strap it to my luggage rack and it can be quickly removed and carried like a duffel bag.

I think those things are ok, right? Especially skulls?

There were a bunch on the site and on eBay 12-18 months ago. I almost bought one, for the comedic value of course.

 

Picked up these two weapons for the wife a I for the summer.

Guess who’s is who’s lol

 

Welcome to the club! Grom for you and 401 for her!

 

Little too small for what I’m lookin for. Basically the same as a backpack for me. I’m thinking I might just do the saddle bags. I’m looking at these too, they’re cheaper than the thrashin but they’re kinda ugly. But they’re also a lot bigger. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/xkursion-xb-fast-lane-saddlebags

 

Harley announced earnings today and their stock dropped 6.5%, yiiiikes.

Off road scooters! saw a bunch of Honda Metropolitans at the beach last weekend. The RV people like to bring them I guess..

It’s a thing.

 

Gotcha, mine is great for an overnight trip or to haul a few items but doesn't have case-of-beer capacity like those saddlebags. They look well made though and would certainly hold a lot

 

OUCH.

 

Let me know your thoughts on the 401.



Anyone going to the Atlanta Motoamerica races this weekend?

 

now this is my kinda cafe build...

Once I get my bike and a couple accessories, we need to get another meetup going. Maybe @LocoLocal will decide to join us this time

 

From a thread on ADVRider on that KLR, this rifle mount is rad. Too bad you're in california @uhplifted, this could solve all your bag problems

 

these look like @GHOST SHIP bags

 

I’m not 100% certain, but I think I can transport a rifle on the motorcycle here. I’d have to look it up. I’m sure I’d be pulled over every other block though

 

You can legally sling it and open carry but you can not have any ammo or magazines with you. Although even though it’s legal, it’s pretty stupid and you’re just asking for trouble.
When you get pulled over just tell them you’re a sovereign citizen of the earth and you’re a traveler.
