I finally got all the necessary bits to finish the luggage system on the GS, and it is now what I think is the most bad ass, versatile and practical luggage system on the planet. I mixed components from three different manufacturers to come up with this arrangement:
Can you find the 4th pelican case in these photos? The fourth on is an add-on, and fits
just enough tools/first aid/spare parts to be useful..
I really just posted this one because Missy happens to be peeing in the background!
Remember that plastic tool tube I tried to fashion?.. here's the real one:
Pretty sweet setup, eh? I'm quite happy with it so far,, add in a big roll-top dry bag across the passenger seat with tent/bag/ etc.. and you're ready to....
Here's a shot of me at the MSF dirt riding course.. pretty sweet spot to hold a class, huh? Sure beats the Polaris parking lot where I learned to ride street bikes with the MSF!
Enough of this, I'm going for a ride!

Hey Ken! You have amazing photos!!!! I'm so glad that things are going well for you! Personally I was on a roller coaster- train wreck since I left Dodd. So I took all my stuff and now I'm back. But instead of downtown I'm at Pepper Pike. You take good care of yourself! Cuz even if we don't still work together you'll always be my favorite.

FARKLE-IZ-A-TION!!! Dang! You better stop fark-lizing or you'll have no cash for South America! Actually, it's pretty awesome...I remember your talking about getting these cases way back in July...glad you found them. I didn't see the 4th pelican...and I also want a report on how well they hold up after you dump the bike a few times (preferably at low speeds having a lot of fun...). I'm glad I have the Jesse panniers because I've already given them a beating.
PS_ My GS is up to 25k now (bought it with almost 14k in July...)
Sheeha, at this rate we'll have to buy *newer* bikes for the SA trip!
