My buddy came up with the greatest idea for the MotoGP trip from San Diego. Simply box up all the clothes and ship them to Monterey-then ride unburdened on the twisties all the way up. Then ship the dirty clothes home.
Not a bad idea for a one day ride to somewhere you will stay for a few days!
(Of course I will be wearing some)

Not a bad idea. I'm almost thinking of pulling the scoot on a trailer, so I can get my sleeping bag and tent. Or sleep in the truck if there is no room. Though I would love to drive the scoot all the way there. |

I also have the tank bag from Buell and love it, the only problem I have found is that the straps are mounted to the airbox fasteners and the strap itself is not beefy enough so I did a little renforcement with a little stiching and a peice of 1 inch wide nylon strap then took and burned a hole through it to make sure the threads melted with the old strap ,no more problems. |

Dave,
Is there any chance we could see what the new bags look like? I checked out the Buell website and there aren't any updates yet...
Also why is the new tank bag less expensive? Is it smaller? Does it have a map pocket? And how long will it be until they are available?
Thanks for the help Dave!

The bags will be here soon.
They seem as good or better quality than before.
The old tankbag is a little bit bigger so if you want a big tank bag you better order one now before they are sold out.
The new one does have a map pocket.
I will see what I can do about getting some pictures. |

The new tank bag looks like it would work better on the Firebolt than the old model- it slants forward more. The saddlebags look like they actually have some usable capacity as well.

Look at that! Dave is the bomb! I didn't know you had access to upload pics onto the Buell website! Thanks a bunch man!
I really like the look of that new trunk bag. But I think I like the old tank bag more...When I travel I pretty much want the biggest bags I can find!
Are they discontinuing the old tank bag? I need to call you up...
THANKS Dave!
