That is a good one. I keep a cargo net under the seat in a plastic freeze bag. I don't like cargo nets as they are annoying to get unraveled, but it comes in handy every once in a while.
I came up with the above when a load of groceries wouldn't fit in the two saddlebags. (I forgot to stow the usual parachute bag along.) Was glad the store had the laundry bags in stock.

I've met only a few travelers. I'd like to know more! When Ozzies travel they go for a long time.

Yikes! Don't go there. Bad pictures in my head.

She's big. Really big.
Ooh yuk Charlie, I didn't mean Gina as in open cu t,
I meant the great wall of vaChina. Impenetrable.

I always carry my portable "overpass" - collapsible umbrella - to stay semi-dry during those sneak attack showers - also handy til the rain slows enough to don a rain suit - (helps to pull over pre-deployment)
