Help me out in Christchurch

[babysteps]

Hi Team

I have a trip planned to the USA in September/October this year, I'll be renting an Electra Glide for 21 days and doing a bit of touring around.

If anyone in Christchurch has one they wouldn't mind lending me for a couple of hours that would be awesome! Not so much interested in riding it, more interested in trying to pack it so I know how much 'stuff' I can take.......

Happy to pay in beer

Cheers

Mark

21 days

3 pairs of trousers (one for wet weather), 5 undies, 5 t-shirts, change of shoes, 2 jackets (one for wet weather) and room for a drink

You should be able to fit that on a scooter

One chap I know, buys a pack of briefs from the warehouse, throws each pair away when the skid marks build up, a shirt from the Op shop when the current one gets too smelly, no laundry, no bulk to pack away,

Guess it depends, whether you belong to the 'Wine and Cheese, restaurant' brigade, or the 'fish & chips, footpath' mentality ( like me).


A bike trip around the states sounds like an awesome experience. Enjoy it

No, An old riding mate from our teenage years. Brings his Vstrom out about three times a year and does a few long distance rides then parks it up again. I told him about this website, He's never looked at KB. not interested.
