Kinja'd!!!

This is me procrastinating and avoiding getting back on the road. The set up holds a tent, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, pillow, extra fuel, extra shoes, and 5 days worth of clothes. And is surprisingly comfortable still.

Very cool. But you need to make a rack for that thing!

Totally worth it. Even shivering my ass off, wet, in a middle of nowhere diner. Totally worth it.

Meh. Eventually. Next efforts will be towards proper rain gear.

Hey, I got a hammock, compact sleeping bag, water, food, 3 days of clothes, fuel, and a big freaking knife on her. Total touring machine!

With what like a 75 mile range? Oh wait, that’s what my Harley had!

Wouldn’t trade it. If you want to do it, go for it!

Start taking baby steps in that direction. Whatever those steps may be.

Oh please, she’ll do 120 on a tank, and I can easily pack enough fuel for an additional 120!

Holy crap! That’s impressive. And it takes maybe 3 hours to go that 120 miles?

I guess it’s a bit more critical in an offroad bike.. But putting everything on the tail just lightens up the front end so much that steering my bike off-road takes a bit more concentration.... I was stoked to get a proper rack to get the bike balanced again........

But yeah, being cold and wet totally sucks....

Paradise campground near McKenzie bridge, Oregon, and ochoco divide campground a few hours east of that. Do it!

Can’t tell a difference in handling. Trail pack is maybe 30lbs. Which is way less than a passenger, and this bike is excellent at 2 up.

Well that’s good. Like I said, perhaps only important on offroad stuff... I did a few roadtrips with my stuff just strapped to the tail.. and offroad, up steep stitchbacks, I would lose a lot of the front end steering traction.....

By the way, dope bike!

Yeah that makes sense for steep off-road climbs. Don’t think I’ll try anything like that with this bike!

Thanks!
