The last few weekends have been about accessorizing my motorcycle for longer distance travel. I now have a “topbox” (trunk), a throttle lock (cheap cruise control), highway footpegs so my legs aren’t stuck in the same position all the time, a permanently mounted locking GPS holder, and I’ve put in a shelf above the dash to hold my radar detector, camera, and a cup holder.
I’ve also picked up a new netbook since the 17″ and 15.4″ MacBook Pros are kinda big for motorcycle travel, and my brother broke the screen on the old netbook. A tire repair kit and compressor. And there’s the new camera with 32GB memory card.
It has been an ordeal getting all of this stuff ordered, delivered, and installed, but now it is finally finished and I can relax for the couple of days remaining until my journey begins…
