Car tire installed on rear

Mender, I dont know how much T- bags are but if you might also
check out Corbin Beetle Bags. I have then on mine and I like the way
they compliment the lines of the bike.
If you havn't seen them before look at my profile and in my album.

I have T-Bag and it goes well with the Triumph leather saddle bags for carrying a ton of stuff including my Laptop.

As far as the care tire . . . just put one on and start riding with it and it'll come clear really quick. :twisted:

Here's pict of the T-Bag without anything loaded inside. Holds a ton of clothes etc.

Welcome mender. Really glad you asked that question!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

But I must relate, I was at my favorite "old" (Meridan) Triumph dealer yesterday. He likes his customers to be well behaved as he is afraid of the neighbors complaining and the landlord kicking him out. But late on a Saturday the other businesses are all closed. So as I was leaving I noticed Keith and his helper had both followed me to the front door of the shop. I took that to mean that they wanted to watch me leave. I assumed that they wanted to watch me leave because they are stunned at the notion of a bike with nearly four times the displacement that they are used to. I felt it would be rude to idle out of the parking lot, short shift into 3'rd and glide away in traffic. I felt a calling.

The parking lot is freshly slurry sealed (very smooth) pavement, about 100 yards to the main street. That 245 Riken Raptor lite up in first and followed the rev limiter all the way to the street. It left a nice fat black patch the whole way from his door to the street and I noticed with a great deal of satisfaction that when I looked back in the mirror, most of the patch was still smoking. AWESOME.

IMHO the big fat tire doesn't handle very well, but it is awesome in a straight line.

My T-Bag fell apart.

****ty zippers.
