Homemade Wolfman Ripoff
#11
HaHa, I bought 2 pairs of ATV tankbags for $9/pr and cut them up, restitched them together and fitted bungee hooks, eyelets, and climbing clasps. I now have a tankbag, saddlebags & tailpack that will all together perfectly stash 24 cans of beer!

I like your idea!!! Nice work.
I have the Wolfman E10 saddlebags already. It hurt like hell to drop the $120 on them, but so far I have been very happy with them. I'm not opposed to adding some of the MSR bags to my rear rack though... ;-)

And do you make her ride on that little blue pillion pad?
Nice work on the bags. I like the way they come off with the side panels. Any interference with your legs?

The MSR bags are slim. You can't put a lot of stuff in them, but I'm not trying to camp off the bike. Riding alone a good bit of the time, I have to plan on the chance of spending the night out with a broken bike, fixing a broken bike, etc. Even with a SPOT locator, I can't count on someone getting help to me before the next day if I just push the button that summons help because of a mechanical. Some places I might break down, there's no way I'm going to walk out in MX boots unless my life depends on it. I've wrestled with wearing less aggressive footwear for my riding, but I'm not just riding dirt and fire roads. I've had at least two incidents where I'm fairly sure I would have broken my ankle without the heavy protection of racing boots. I try avoiding having to push that SAR button on my SPOT if at all possible.
No...LOL!...I know you're aware that my wife doesn't ride on that blue pad. When we got married in '73, we didn't take a 4-wheel vacation until about 1986. She spent plenty of time on the back of road motorcycle and even had her license at one point with her own KLR600. She's not interested in that anymore, and I don't blame her. Even I don't have any desire to do much highway traveling anymore. The dirt is just too much fun.

I wish I would've gotten a KLX when I lived in Abilene for 9 years (stationed at Dyess 2000 -2009, 317th MXS). Then again, the Texas Motorsports Ranch in Cresson wasn't too far away and I had a blast there on my ZX6R Still though, my KLX would've been so much fun there.

Hollar at me. You have to be a member or come with a member. There's no charge to come with a member. Do you know Jack Henry from your area? I raced enduros with him and some other Permian Basin enduro guys for years. Jack is old now, but he was at our state enduro out at our place in March racing as always.
