You'd be surprised by how many bikes/customers roll into the shop and say..."yeah, I went cross country on this bike" I look at the bike and think man you must have been miserable!! But instead I say "AWESOME!"
Point being, like many have said, you can do a lot with a little. The Chev platform is highly capable and a lighter tour will be all the more fun. Someone already suggested it but check out the King Cage universal support bolts, they'll stay put. You also have saddle mount cages and handlebar mount cages as an option. AND I can recall throwing some water bottles in my saddle bag or front bag on several S240s because I was too lazy to throw on cages before leaving. I usually stop to drink and take a breather anyway, what's the rush, right? Make sure you share your story once you go! Some of us will be living vicariously through you when we're stuck at home base :-) On Saturday, February 25, 2017 at 8:33:07 AM UTC-5, Bob Lovejoy wrote: > > Hello Takashi - and thank you for sending the link! > > Looking over and reading about their trip has been a great way to start my > day.
