(I'm big into lights and reflective fabric.) <BR/><BR/>And yes, I drink while riding. I don't feel like a hunchback, but then again it's on the outside of my jacket. Since it has a couple interior pockets like a regular backpack, I can carry small things (PDA, purse, small towel) and not bother with another bag. <BR/><BR/>Olsa [1995 BMW R100RT] has saddle bags and a trunk, which have been more than adequate even when taking a weekend trip. for longer than that I'd bungee a waterproof bag on the passenger seat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20666162.post-1159831862713307252006-10-02T16:31:00.000-07:002006-10-02T16:31:00.000-07:00It's bad enough to be "nickel and dimed" but I fin...It's bad enough to be "nickel and dimed" but I find it worse to just suffer the irritation of little problems.
