Fly and Ride NX400
As indicated last post here are fotos of the $70.00 carry on converted into a tail bag for my Honda Falcon NX400.
And, as a bonus another plus for soft saddlebags, panniers for non westerners, here is the old warrior who learned this carry trick while serving as a Peace Corps volunteer. Yes some Peace Corps volunteers actually ride horses.
If we have to "get out of Dodge", ( more western slang or an idiomatic expression meaning ... escape danger quickly) ... status quo for carrying emergency gear if "hoofing it" (yeah... western slang for walking).
Another bonus - the big guy is a law student from Kansas - no not Alice, and his sidekick, friend is German. We met these charming gentlemen at the border of Ecuador. More like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid than Lewis Carrol characters, yeah I know his real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson - no relation to "get out of Dodge,"
xfiltrate says Colombia is far safer than the press and some guide books would have you believe. The Colombians will tell you what areas to avoid as the "danger" is mobile. But, there was great police and military activity in and around every "danger."
xfiltrate eat , drink and be careful
