Thumbs up Live for you

Stop trying to be a people pleaser and do what the frig you want , live your own life and not for anybody else, everybody has their own version of what's cool or not anyway , sometimes i had a plastic bag hanging from my handlebars or inside my jacket if at last minute i had to stop at the Harley store..


Peace , Wonka

i go back and forth... have a rack and all that, but sometimes it is just easier to grab the backpack and go!

I have ridden with a back pack on more than one occasion and didn't have a second thought about it.

Would people make less fun of someone riding a Yamaha with a backpack? Who knows and who cares.....right!?!

I stopped worrying about what people think back in the 60s when I go my first bike. I ride with a backpack, hang stuff on my bars, whatever I have to do. Just go with whatever feels good.
