"Gear" vs. "Accessories"

So, you got yourself a new doodad and are stymied about where to
share your joy/disappointment? Never fear, definitions are
here!
For the purposes of this forum, an accessory is anything
hard-wired/mounted to the bike itself.
Gear is everything else.
So the Garmin GPS that is hardwired to the bike with an AMPS
mount, is an accessory, a hand-held compass is gear. Racks and
rack-mountable hard/soft bags are accessories, a duffle bag or
backpack that you simply strap to the rack is gear.
Obviously some items blur the line...don't get too OCD about it,
and don't let that make you hesitate sharing your awesome kit!

Yes. Though you'd score bonus points if you hard-wired it to
your bike.
