Default How to ride with gear on the 250....

Tonite I went to WalMart and bought some Outdoor dry bags that I hope to throw my gear in and use my bungee cords to tie it down with. They are water proof and allow me to throw my extra clothes, gloves, keys, Glock, knife, etc, with ease. I also bought a $6 Outdoor fanny pack that I just turn around backwards under on the outside of my Kawasaki riding jacket.... It is the best way to carry my Glock that I have found. I am still trying to decide if I want to carry it ON me or tied down in one of my dry sacks on the back of my bike. How do you guys recommend carrying gear on the back of your 250s?

here is a picture.

Bungee cords or tail/saddle bags. Thats what I'd do.

Do you really need all that on you? Is Johnson City the new Hong Kong?

I went and bought this hiking backpack at Big 5. Big enough to fit my work shoes and clothes, food and other "girlie" stuff. Has convenient compartments to put paperwork at the front, water bottle on the side, etc. With the chest stap on it doesn't budge at all and I barely notice it's there. Hope that helps. =)

When i ride is use a backpack to carry everything. However i would probably go for carrying your weapon on you. I also carry and i would hate to loose the pack with my pistol(not to mention its much more accesable when its on your belt). Oh and not to hi-jack the thread but what kind of Glock do you carry?
