Hey all,
Here's Lorna all kitted up and ready for a fly fishing trip. I
began my day in Kennebunkport (that's George H.W. Bush's home in
the background, "Walker's Point").

I rode 250 miles today out to the White Mountain's National
Forest (in New Hampshire). It rained ALL day. I didn't mind; I
have good rain gear and a warm coat, so the rain did nothing but
lend the mountains a bit more drama. It did not, however, bode
well for my fly fishing.
I have yet to verify the existence of fish in New Hampshire.
So here's another picture of my loadout instead:

And another:

You may be wondering how this load affected the bike's handling.
The answer: a lot, but it's still better than an unloaded GS.
;D
That's a 2 gallon Rotopax under the Wolfman Expedition bags. I
was really bummed when Wolfman stopped making their own racks.
Now, I'm glad they stopped. Their new "universal" straps are
easier to use than their old system. And the Touratech racks
are higher quality than the ones Wolfman subcontracted out for.
On the (excellent) Nomadic top rack, I have a dry bag stuffed
with my tent and down sleeping bag. It's bulky but light.
I definitely felt the weight of the Rotopax. I should have
overpacked the left saddlebag heavier to compensate.
Also, notice how upright the bike sits! I need to chop that
kickstand before the wind knocks me over.
I'm overloaded for a 1-night fishing trip, but I wanted to know
how the bike handled a TAT-sized loadout. I'm happy to report
that she did VERY well with the full monty.
