Easy way to get rid of snow....
Mount a big hose to the exhaust of your bike. Fire it up, let it rev...... blow it all away with hot air. And afther a while, all snow is gone,and you won't be needing that shovel anymore
But I know the feeling, since 17th December only 9 times gone to work on the bike, rest with the car.....

Did I catch hint of Spring? Actually expected to get to 40+F in the weekend!!
First overnighter is mid April. But the warmer temps made me antsy, so .............
Spent a day putting together packing list ... what to take & where to put it. Then spent bit of time making it actually happen! Result is:

THEN, had to take a ride to see if could make it fall off!! 80 miles later everything seems okey/dokey. Took a bit of time to get accustomed to the bit of extra weight back there.
Ordered givi touring screen yesterday ... for the 3rd time. Sunday will see PR2's mounted. Need to get suspension adjusted for the added weight ... gotta find someone to help get that right.
Hard to keep waiting, but guess the anticipation has its own pleasure ...... hmmmmmmm.

All that for an overnighter Looks more like an "I'll be back when I'm back" kind of gear you got there Michael. Looks like a pretty good set up though. I'm impressed.

Think comments can be summarized by BB, who replied ....... All that for an overnighter? Looks more like an "I'll be back when I'm back" kind of gear you got there, Michael.
That's the camping setup. While none of the bags are REALLY full, it does look like ALOT, doesn't it!!l Tall seatbag is in expanded position only because tent poles are in there.
Course, would likely help if case of beer was removed too. But a guy needs what a guy needs!!!! Right?
Have now taken bags off so can figure out how to strap pair of tires on for trip up to the guy who's going to put 'em on. But should be piece of cake.
