Say, isn't that the same low hill behind the bikes in both pictures?!! What are the chances?
Did you camp at Lake Superior? Take the 129?Here's mine from a few weeks ago, between Wawa and Sault Ste Marie. Two dry bags, tank bag and saddlebags. White thing is PVC tube for tent poles.
Thanks! Good prices on those.That was a cheapy set from Amazon. Not great, not bad. This one, basically. https://amzn.com/B00N7EOB88 I have a second cup that nests inside, and it holds both the fuel and the cook stove all together.
Cook stove was this one. It's pretty decent for the price. https://amzn.com/B01EAA6E5A
Nice. What brand is it? Where can I buy one? Thanks.I never could figure out which top box I wanted or how much cash I was wiling to let loose of so I found this bag and added a Honda patch. 60 dollars and will hold 2 full face helmets. Locks and is water proof. On and off in a minute. I made a rack and back rest to hold it out of 1/8 aluminum. I have such little $ in it and it works ,now it is hard to go with top box that cost a lot more.
From Home Depot. It is there largest tool bag. The Honda patches cover up the Husky name and I found them on EBay. I used Husky tied down straps that have swivel clips on one end and Velcro on the other. The tie down straps are usually found in the ladder department with the ratchet ties straps. There is a sub frame that I made that sits on top of the rack that support the feet on the bag. It takes one small lock where the zippers meet.Nice. What brand is it? Where can I buy one? Thanks.

You can put everything you need for camping in one saddlebag?This one is almost embarrassing (because there is so much stuff on the bike). I had packed for a 5 week tour of Europe - the first photo shows me in Toronto, just before leaving for the airport. The second photo shows the bike checked in as baggage on the flight.
These photos were taken way back around 2001 or 2002. I have since learned how to pack for 4 weeks on the road using only one of the two saddlebags (the other one is for maps, tools, raingear, and the like).
