I voted long distance and commute but I don't do it on the 929. I'm actually contemplating doing a Streefighter convert on the 929 so I can have some kind of wrist comfort on those longer days. There!  Happy??  Who's next? _____________________________ 2003 Yamaha FZ10SPR 2001 Honda CBR929RR (in reply to mpbigham) Post #: 4

RE: does anyone do long distance? - 12/29/2007 6:14:12 AM    woot Posts: 659 Joined: 7/24/2006 From: NS, Canada Status: offline I ride a few long rides a year... I recently snagged a set of cortech tail/saddle bags. That was a huge step up from the mess of bungees I used to use. I can get tools in the bottom of left/right bags (balance) clothes on the top of 1, food on the top of other (granola, water, the day's sandwich), sweater/mini-sleeping bag/bed roll in the top bag - tent bunged to the rear of the top bag. That's it... that still leaves room in the top bag for a spare clutch cable, zip ties and a few other patch up bits and peices. I'm looking for a tank bag for my maps and a new bike-proof camera. _____________________________ 2000 CBR 600 F4 Full D&D (coming off) Full M4 (going on) -1,+2 520 Speedohealer (-7.5% right now - needs 11.4%) AutoCom Pro, Garmin Nuvi 360 GPS, Cobra FRS/GMRS radios, Vortex sliders, mirrored windscreen, Cortech bags.

Actually - we should start a gear thread, as we have probably individually tryed most gear out there. _____________________________ 2000 CBR 600 F4 Full D&D (coming off) Full M4 (going on) -1,+2 520 Speedohealer (-7.5% right now - needs 11.4%) AutoCom Pro, Garmin Nuvi 360 GPS, Cobra FRS/GMRS radios, Vortex sliders, mirrored windscreen, Cortech bags.

(not to mention i have a kazillion hilton honors points) and a full nights sleep is the most important factor when spending multiple full days on a 600RR.. but yes.. long trips i love.. i usually try to find obscure and strange shit to go look at in places im sure i will never stop in again.. _____________________________ No Worries...
