[Joni]

Dunno... still cant afford a tankbag!

I DO know that there is no way a rack is goin on my Duc.... will courier stuff or be smelly before that happens!

Excellent philosophy

Yep, same here - just do my own thing, but if people want advice I don't mind giving some.

Ricky martin is gay, IMHO Paul Holmes and Ma'a Nonu are gay, they guy who tried to straightline me in his shitbox subaru yesterday was fairly gay, Dangerous's neon plans are SO gay they break the gay barrier...

But packracks are Cewl......

So true, and you forgot to put in caleb ralph.

[Posh Tourer :P]

... and BMW's can carry stuff without racks or panniers, is that what you are saying, or that they look butt ugly already so it doesn't matter? I'm getting a bit lost with your logic here.

BMW's are prosaically designed to be integrative with luggage ie panniers/tankbags etc. Once you put a rack on a sportsbike it looks weird cos it wasnt designed with that in mind.

[Posh Tourer :P]

No, I brought it with the intention of adding luggage to it when I needed it.
Why does it matter so much? Why do you care what others do to their bike? How can you not understand that it's better to add luggage to a bike and be able to take it away for an extended period of time than to leave it sitting in the garage. Are you stupid?

Thats what i wanted

My point was if you are going to take your bike away for an extended period of time wouldnt it be better to get something that was better at carrying stuff in the first place...

Its better to have some luggage carrying capacity than none at all though

If the money tree out the back would produce a decent yeild then maybe I could get a second bike to using when I'm going away for more than a night. As the tree is looking rather sick at the moment I decided to go with a bike that would suit the kind of riding I normally do (commuting & day trips).

A very good point, two-up and away for a weekend what else can you do?
'course on a Hogley it looks o.k. EVERYTHING looks o.k. on one of them

[Drunken Monkey]

They're bloody useful when I'm not using the station wagon for whatever reason (like Easter's bike trip to Wellington). you don't even really notice it when its dismantled (see attached), much the same as you have a 'race pod' when you're not in the business of ferrying pillions. That can be changed for a cushy back seat also.
The pic with the rack is missing the big bag-o-stuff I had as well. Much better than trying to ride with an oversize backpack and other necessities floating around yourbadself. Note faux pas #2 = a sporty with a tank bag. Worth every dollar to me.

pack racks are GHAY???????? and i thought you were such a tolerant type of girl. what is gay - is getting somewhere and not having a spare helmet to take your mates somewhere, cause you couldn't carry it under bungees on the back seat cause it looked STUPID

and matt you're right - i'd rather have a pack rack than a gold wing...

I took my pillion pegs off, so I wouldn't have to take my mates somewhere.


this is fun
