Less sport, more tourer...
Firstly, can I mention how absolutely lovely riding conditions in central Illinois have been this winter? Between the first week of December and the 16th of January, I think there was only one day that I had to drive a car to work.
Secondly, I've finally gotten around to posting a photo of my bike with its new saddlebags semi-mounted. They're Nelson-Rigg Spheres, complete with all mounting straps and rain bags, and they cost me the unbelievably low sum of $46.00. I can, as I promised the wife, fit a 20lb bag of Tidy Cat into each of 'em.
