Oh, you're a funny man, RatMan!!

What you see there is the RETURN trip- that's the "Expanded" version of my Saddleman Tail bag.  I picked up lots of baggage on the trip---  Gifts for the Missus and the boys, 3-4 extra souvenir T-shirts, and parts/prizes I bought at the auction and/or won as door prizes, and various gifts for OTHERS.  Besides, I think plenty of other bikes were equally loaded down!  Troll's bike just doesn't show it - but he had the trunk (on the luggage rack), saddle bags, a big bag on the rear seat, AND a very large tank bag to boot - and I think they were all relatively full as well!!

And don't think you're going to fool anyone, buddy - I've seen pictures of that poor little Sunbeam Red 800 packed to where it looks like it could hardly move!!!

  Bet he changed his shorts and socks each day and then brought it all home for the Missus to clean for him and of course iron them too.......

I trailered and, as it was, my truck was packed to the gills with just about everything except the kitchen sink.   :o

Kitchen sinks take up a lot of room!

Officially started on Wed, the 13th, and ran to Sat night the 16th. We got there late afternoon on the 12th so we didn't miss anything.  I rode 357 miles while I was there, and currently have ridden 2220 since I left home. I have about 480 left for today.

  I was looking at the pictures and there are some really nice ones.  But I am really wondering on how long this trip really was, like was it a month long or more? I was looking at one picture in particular, and wow seems a good thing someone's love one did not want to go, because it would have been a really hard ride. But a set of saddle bags, and large ones to boot, and then a hockey bag, now anyone who does not know you can pack an awful lot of kit into a hockey bag, D1 could deploy for 6 months on what he can pack into a hockey bag, not just the saddlebags.......and then you have to strap a box on top of that ...wow........notice the other bikes and how little they have on them......
Never seen a bike that packed down before, surprised you could keep up with Troll................
