Casper Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I don't think there are really any bad tank bags. I have a Joe Rocket tank bag I really like. Get one with the clear plastic on top for putting a map in. You have no idea how many times that's come in handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

that dude Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 i have the joe rocket manta bag and it has a very slimline profile.. doesnt hold alot like above but enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluebird Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 by the looks of all that you could take apart the bike on a roadside and have photo evidence of the it then resemble and swap brake lines and levers and still have room for a sandwich in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost1888 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 It's a little over kill considering I still have the OE tool kit under the seat. So yeah I probably could take the bike apart quick especially since I have 2 of everything so if I'm with someone else they can help out also. The only thing I don't have yet just because I always forget about it is a tire repair kit. One of the most important tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Mine's not nearly as full as losts, i usually have a pair of sunglasses, a spare sheild, my ipod, phone, and gloves...Still room for whatever i'm getting at the store or whatever, it's just adds to the practicality of the bike.

Lost1888 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Just get out and ride screw that GPS stuff. Part of the fun is getting lost! My phone goes in there and I rarely look at it. I do have maps but the best roads are not on maps. You just have to go find them. I'm just giving you guys a hard time. Someday I will get GPS but not until it is necessary. Like on 1000 mile multiday, multistate trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swingset Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Just get out and ride screw that GPS stuff. Part of the fun is getting lost! My phone goes in there and I rarely look at it. I do have maps but the best roads are not on maps. You just have to go find them. Your maps must suck. Every road in this country is documented by a cartographer, even roads that have been defunct for 100+ years.Get some better maps, or might I suggest a GPS?Just pulling your chain. Actually a GPS helps you to get lost, in a very good way. Firstly by giving you confidence that you are always able to quickly navigate back to where you need to be, or to gas, or to help. Second, it can be routed to a specific destination and dynamically adjust when you deviate. In other words, you can choose to go to Marietta but start picking roads off the suggested route and it will adjust to keep your destination right but your route up to you.Third, it will remember your route so you can revisit portions or share them. A good GPS is also a gas calculator, an altimeter, an .mp3 player, a weather alert, etc.They are, in no short way, a rider's perfect companion and only diminish your fun if you allow them to.

It seems we always end up on a gravel road. Just my experience. Honestly though I'm just jealous but can't justify spending the cash when I don't 'need it'.

krzwhtman Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 one real good thing about having GPS , is if it is a Speed location clocker . come in handy in traffic court dispute, if you feel you were wrong person hit with the radar , or the speed was off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
