Like a boss


So glad my jacket is cut for skinny fat people. no armor in ATM. sucked the gut in and breathed like there was a fat chick sitting on me. normally i would take them out of the box and stuff them in after i am on the bike.


last weekend fit, a 2 liter, 12pack of mtndew, 3 frozen dinnners, and a bag of carrots with room to spare, in my book bag.\

needs sushi.

 

haha thats awesome, i normally carry a good sized book bag.

 

I've actually balance a 6pack on top of gas tank one time...

Now I got myself big back pack...fits a 6pack + chips + extra.....

 

why are you drinking ichiban?

 

One thing to keep in mind with the Jacket-bag approach. Avoid having things trapped
next to your tender skin (inside your gear) that might break into sharp/hard objects if
you go down. It defeats the point of wearing protective gear in the first place.

Just a thought, Ern

 

would not be a pretty sight to see.

 

I wear a backpack on any trips that will require me to carry stuff. We have gym at work, so when I ride the bike to work the backpack has my gym clothes and a pair of sneakers to wear at the office/gym. On colder mornings I wear a sweatshirt (or 2)under my jacket and, if it's warmer after work, they go in the backpack on the way home.

Having a commuter bike with saddle bags or hard cases would come in handy sometimes, but I'm not ready/willing to give up the performance and handling of a sportbike yet, and can't afford multiple bikes. :-(

 

I did a Givi tail-trunk. It clips/locks onto a tail plate. When I'm out sporting, I
lose the trunk.

The main reason I went with tail, it gave momma security when
we're 2-up. She was always a little on edge riding, until I got the back-rest/trunk.
Now, she can relax and enjoy.

Other-wise, I'd go with a set of soft-sides. They have gotten a LOT better than
what you used to have to deal with (sag, burns, sloppy-mounting). Easy on/off,
expand for extra cargo, cheap! ($75-$150-ish).

was this a "look how much stuff i can get in my jacket" thread or a "how can i carry more stuff" thread? i was laughing at the beer in the jacket pic, then it turned serious.

 

I was amused as well, then started thinking about the possibilities.
If it wasn't someone I actually "know", I probably wouldn't have said
anything to bum the party. But, like the 2nd law of robotics...cannot fail
to take action when harm may come to a human...I had to point out the
possibilities.

So a dwarf, a mage and a paladin go into this bar....
