Why not a back-pack?
Hi all,
I'm a newbie on this site and pick up my new pride and joy (06 Yamaha TTR250) Wednesday.
After all the research and dredging all the available websites it was down to that or a Suzuki DRZ 250. Smaller machines have a peculiar appeal.
So my first question:
Given the popularity of small adventure style bikes and the availability of light weight clothing, tents, sleeping bags etc Why do people not use a back-pack to store all their gear?
Given the TTR is small I will be looking at a bumbag (tools etc) a small rear dry sack and a waterproof back-pack.
Given all that I still have to try and pack it all in...and yes I would like to be self sufficient and carry cooking gear.
Travelling small and light in Oz is a real option. Also intend to carry fishing gear (another passion of mine)
No trips planned as yet as I need to get the bike (and myself) prepared.
Oh yeah, the GPS is purchased and ready to be wired up, as is the auxiliary 12v power supply.
Cheers.
Julian.
