You should photoshop that thing lifting a front wheel in that picture.

The wife and I go camping often. I wish she would consider camping on two wheels. It would be more fun.

Mat, You would not believe the capacity of the Ventura Bike Pack. Had this set on my Blackbird, in fact those are the bags from that bike and I haven't owned it 2001! Still in decent shape but anything will slide over the large touring hoop/rack.

See that is awesome. Function over fashion. To my eyes that is beautiful. You carrying a tent? No sleeping bag on seat?

The sleeping bag was inside one of the packs and I need to pick up a new compact tent. Really the two packs were over stuffed but man, had enough clothes for three weeks in there! Back in the old days there was a tv show called "Then came Bronson" or something. He strapped his bedroll to the handlebars of a Sportster(?) And travelled around getting into shennanagins. To a little boy it was the coolest show ever!

Shennanagins? Sounds like pish posh. Or maybe tomfoolery/skullduggery.

I like the setup. I let my tankbag grow til pretty much all my clothes were in it and I could just lay forward on it and relax my arms. Flip on the vista cruz and do like 9hrs straight stopping only for gas.

I hope you have a pocket fisherman in there. I am jealous since my newborn kinda curtails any adventuring for a bit. My only camping is the tramper at the racetrack.

The packs are fine. It's all that blue that's disturbing.

Yeah I think the official name is "shocking blue" or similar. Blue is rare right?

What's with all the crapsnack attacks? Pish posh back at you guys! True, got carried away with blue. Blue stripes on wheels may be excessive. Camping with mini Joe in a few years is something to look forward to and something I'll never get to appreciate (no kids)

Going camping up in Winchester, WI (near the border of Michigan and Wisconsin) in two weeks. Thinking about taking the Superhawk up there. Can't freakin' wait! Pulling 16-18 hour days with a two hour drive there and back is starting to really get to me. The long days are my choice, but the sooner I get the job done, the less driving I have to do and the sooner I get paid!

Hey Jerry, just read that you might need a R/R. I have a two good later model stock R/R's. So, if you need one to get you back on the road untill you can replace it, let me know man. No charge.

EDIT: Nevermind. I misread your post in the "What did you do with your Superhawk today" thread. I'm a putz.
