I don't mind a small pack for dirt riding. Some water, grub, phone, etc. But a pack that you could put groceries in? No thanks.
Cory. I have a two piece full zip cortech leathers with full armour(bought 2nd hand like new)that are my go to unless it's smoking hot. Then I ride in two piece textile with armour. Gauntlet quality leather gloves always and road/sportbike boots too. But my main plan is to not come off. Lol. If I was track riding I would only be in full leathers only. Yesterday I went to look at a single piece leather suit for $60clams cdn. Slid it on, right up to trying to get my second shoulder in and started feeling like houdini in a straight jacket. The seller and I both agreed that if we managed to skip my other arm in we'd be cutting the suit off. lol. Don't get to win all the classified finds I guess.
Took Westside Rd home again. A road is always nicer once you're a little familiar with it. No wildlife, barely any traffic, and no popo. What more could you ask for. I love riding with my wife and it's super cool that we do this together. But I do enjoy riding solo too, like I was yesterday. My own pace, no stopping and waiting, no distractions.
We are doing a overnighter down into Washington tomorrow. Coulee dam. I'm super duper stoked, to put it mildly. We are going with another couple we occasionally ride with so the other fella and I usually ride off ahead some through the twisties. We all have cardos comms too so it'll be my first time using them with more than just my wife linked. That'll be interesting.
Today is oil changes and chain adjusting, etc, etc. I'm a maintenance fanatic when it comes to something capable of 250+kph on two wheels(ya kph sound way cooler than mph, you went how fast!).
Not that I ever go that fast on public roads. Gotta keep the record straight. Lol.
