Storage options for 6-day trip
I recently purchased a 1996 VF750CD, so that I could join my son (CBR650R) and turn his rides into our rides. I've had my license for almost 50 years, and just got back into riding. My son has been riding for not quite two years now.
Anyway, we've made plans to ride around Lake Michigan in late July - seven days/six nights is our plan, weather permitting.
Right now, neither of us have any storage options for our bikes.
So I come to you, Magna owners, asking for your opinions on the best way to carry items for the trip. Do I purchase saddle bags? Or do I purchase a luggage rack and strap on a duffle bag behind me? Should I also purchase a sissy bar to help attach the duffle bag?
Whatever I purchase will only be a temporary addition to the bike - most of our rides are local - so whatever I put on will eventually come off once again, only to be used on our next long excursion! (We haven't even gone on the Lake Michigan trip, and my son is already talking about Route 66, or a road trip to Rapid City, SD!)
