SW Motech luggage rack for VFR

Coyote Chris · May 3, 2020

Finally freed up some time to put my SW motech luggage rack on the VFR with the quick removal soft luggage carrier. One thing I gotta say about SW motech...they build quality stuff. Every hole...all 12...were in perfect alignment with what they had to be with. Getting closer to being ready for the Spearfish rally.

Looks good! Speaking of Spearfish, what do you think the odds are of pulling it off? I seem to remember reading somewhere that the pirates are still planning their annual gathering in Sturgis in August.

SW Moto makes great stuff. I have their racks for Givi sideboxes on my NC700X and everything aligned properly.

I hope so, he needs some adult supervision.

Really, I hope we can all go. I'm planning on it but not counting on it.

I'm not sure that I'm ready to go in June. Maybe in August after the real bikers are gone.

Hmmmmm…. I hadn't planned on Spearfish this year since I was going to do an epic ride. It seems that the epic ride has had the kibosh put to it with the closure of Canada, so if Spearfish is still on the table I may try to do it. I was gonna ride up and visit JJ but I heard that WI closed their borders to Missourians.... I'm not sure but I think JJ may have had something to do with it..... <sigh>

:unsure:

I'm thinking that IF Spearfish happens, I may spend a few days riding in the Big Horns and maybe Beartooth and Chief Joseph areas after the Rally.

Coyote Chris · May 6, 2020

Frosty and I went to Palouse falls today....VFR is coming together for Spearfish...rode 280 miles.

I hope! Whether we have an official Spearfish or an unofficial one, I hope he comes with me....

Well, it's not Alaska but this year it will have to do. However right now I'm not allowed to travel into Minnesota in order to get to Spearfish.

Frosty · May 6, 2020

I am certainly planning on riding/touring somewhere with Chris. I hope that it is Spearfish and I was planning on camping. I have not touched the 1998 VFR yet. I was hoping to ride it, but both the NT and 800GT are ready to go now.

I think that traveling and camping in the West is a fairly low risk activity for the current virus. YMMV.

Yes, I agree. I might have to break out my camping gear. Ugh. Low risk, yes, but you all have to watchout for those Murdering Hornets. I guess if the Corona 19 did not work let loose the Murdering Hornets.:ROFLMAO:

Frosty · May 8, 2020

For planning. I think a 380 or 9mm is OK to kill the virus, but it will take a 40mm or 45 for the Hornets.

Warren · May 9, 2020

40 mm ? That's some serious hardware. 10 mm would probably be adequate for the hornets

Frosty · May 9, 2020

:unsure: Ha Ha! Good catch. The 40 mm is much too large, unless they are flying mid level recip bombers attacking the campground..

junglejim · May 9, 2020

Adequate is the minimum.
Don't ever get yourself into a fair fight.
