@1K9 Rick,
I like that, "social cacophony"!
Me reckons all the over regulation of our freedoms have turned us into a litiguous mob of whimps & cry-babies!
Life was much simpler and better back in 55-65!

Wasn't there a Civil War going on in the USA back then?

Both centuries too I suppose

Actually twas 1861 to 1865.
Wasn't it 1980 when OZ was devastated and saved by Mad Max?

I out did you for luggage before I reformed Lupe.

I had a similar rear pack and factory panniers to yours at the first '16 RDU
PLUS
An extended Bagster XL tankbag on the tank, another 2 tankbags on top/back of the rear pack, one waterproof roll across pillion seat, a tent swag roll on one pannier and a fertiliser bag with 3 jackets (1 mine and 2 as gifts) on the other.

I was going for a month but folks just laughed at me.

Now I am keeping to one waterproof roll on the rear guard and a tankbag on the rear rack after removing the sissy bar. Much better.

Close, the crappy first one was a '1979 Australian dystopian action film. The film presents a tale of societal collapse, murder, and revenge set in a future Australia, '

Yeah I was initially referencing the 1861 -1865 version but then remembered my history reading of the USA's 1955-1965 period.
