Today I purchased the luggage rack to support the Tour Bag. I hope I have some money left when the time for the ride arrives. All that is left for the bike to be completely equipped is a set of Highway Pegs and a Rider's Backrest. Then I'll pick up the rest of the equipment and spend a lot of time packing and repacking until I get it just right.
The tour bag (system) all fit together with no problems. The hard part will be avoiding filling it up with a bunch of stuff I'm not going to use.
Additionally, thanks to Mary's tutoring, I have added links to the two rides I mentioned in earlier posts and sent some of you by e-mail. One is from Tim Sheridan who rode the 4 corners ride around the U.S. and put in over 12,000 miles in 21 days; and the other is "Old Bags on Bikes" who are six ladies from New York (Long Island) who rode to 31 states; 3 countries in 31 days. Both sites provide excellent photos and great comments on what we can expect when we take our ride. If their collective musings hold true we can expect to get some great experience riding in the rain.
