2 days agoYou really should! I encourage everyone who can afford the time to go take the MSF beginners course (or equivalent wherever you are in the world), even if they don’t plan on riding. I think it makes you more aware as a driver, and it is good fun anyway!
A buddy of mine had a ton of gear he wasn’t using after he sold his Tenere 700, so he just gave me a couple dry bags because he knows I ride everyday. I don’t see any branding on the bag, but it seems higher quality than others I’ve used. I’ll probably eventually get Tusk rackless luggage at some point. Believe it or not, for the four years I used my SR, I mainly just used a backpack, but I was known to strap everything, from 300+ piece toolkits, to rolls of plastic sheeting, milk crates for groceries, regular duffle bags, and even a gun or two width wise across the back seat and be on my way. Inspired by the global south, I realized creativity is the limiting factor (okay, maybe some safety stuff, too) on carrying things on bikes.
Edit: I took it off the bike when I got to work this morning. It’s a Sedici? Never heard of them, but I’m satisfied with it.
