What screen?

 

This was the view at the top of our ride yesterday. Pretty rocky but fun trail. dropped the bike once and have some sik new trail scars on my fork and a big handlebar charlie on my thigh... WORTH IT!

Drz has an oil screen in the frame.

 

You hauling camera gear on that bike?

 

yup. I'll probably stop hauling my good camera with though. Wouldn't take but one bad one to jack up a big investment... I do have a good backpack for it but...

 

I'm looking for a setup to carry my d3200 on the bike

 

Yea it's nice to have it with buuut I'd probably only feel good about it if it was in a hard case

 

pelican cases are pretty cheap.

 

But then i need the good foamski and a backpack to put it in

 

Rear rack + pelican 1300

Want to put it in the bottom of a back pack...

 

word to the wise, i don't know how you guys carry money on the bike. i have a big wallet because i'm a girl so i just grab my debit car and license and that's it. boa issued me a new card and turned mine off last night for security purposes, unbeknownst to me, and i was an hour from home and low on fuel and couldn't get gas. no one at the gas station had paypal that i could send them money to, and the guy working there wouldn't take a card over the phone. i found a friend who had a friend that lived nearby, and he was nice enough to come fill me up. from now on i'm taking 2 forms of payment

 

I have an emergency $20 stashed in the tool kit in case I ever forget my wallet and need to tank up.

 

this is smart. i could probably do that with $5 on the fz hahaha

 

It's just a carryover from my other vehicles. They've all got $50 stashed for when I'm wearing my dirty holey work pants on the weekend and hop in the truck and forget my wallet. I got burned a couple of times with it and after that they all got emergency funds.

I can usually tank the Ninja on $10 or less, but I think a $20 is all I had on me when I was getting the tool kit squared away

 

you are a wise man

 

I usually carry my wallet but don't have cash. I have a few different cards, but that won't help if somewhere only takes cash. Pretty rare now though

 

I don't know about that.
If I was a wise man I'd have started doing it before I got burned instead of after it happened twice, lol.

 

Yeah I always have either two cards or a card and enough cash to get a full tank with whatever I'm driving. I learned that the hard way too.
