i thought i should have taken some time to shake out the cover and cover the bike up, but i didnt (i was in a hurry and had a big cup of coffee (excuses)). now i feel bad i didnt, though the rain has stopped thankfully; if it ever happens again, i think id probably cover it, as id want someone to do that for me. at the same time, i dont like the idea of a stranger touching my bike, and i was raised by my dad to never touch another's bike unless given permission.

Excellent condition with new Trail Wings, new Iridium plugs installed at 7600 miles. 3 oil/filter changes done thus far including the very important 600 mile service done by Suzuki. The other 2 oil/filter changes were done by me with Rotella T synthetic. Only one little scratch on crash bar caused by a no speed tip over. Most of my riding has been very conservative especially when riding 2-up (about 1/2 of the miles). I say that I "may" put it up for sale because I don't have to sell it and not willing to take a big loss on it.

Last night, we were leaving the Arts District parking garage at the Meyerson, and watched a valet go whipping by us in a $100K Mercedes SL while punching buttons on his cell phone!

A few days ago, I took a back way into Denton on the dual-sport, and drove by bags of garbage and about half a dozen mattresses that human scum had tossed on the side of the road. Then I got cut off by a guy with a license plate frame that stated "You Suck"!

Oh wait, then there was the woman in the never-been-cleaned green Chrysler minivan who was enthusiastically picking her nose next to me at the traffic light.

Enough is enough. I'm tired of this nonsense, and I have the solution.

I have used the Marsee 20 liter tail bag for over 100,000 miles consisting of both road and dual-sport riding. The bag has finally given up the ghost and it is time for a replacement. The problem is that Marsee does not produce that specific model anymore. I wish they did since the quality workmanship is superb.



The other benefit is that the bag was 20 liters in storage with half the bag zipped and by unzipping the bag the storage was doubled to 40 liters, so the bag was quite versatile.

Any other such expanding bag (20-40 liters) with a good record of durability?
