So this sounds like it is your primary mode of transportation? I'm on my first bike and of all the things I learned in the first couple rides, it was that the next bike will be a hard-bagged sport-tourer. I NEED STORAGE! WTF good is a bike if I can't go to the store and pick up a bunch of stuff? Or take a few things with me on the way to work? I don't want to have to wear a backpack everywhere I go, and the space is obviously limited. Do you go to the store exclusively in the Mini? That seems to really inhibit full motorcycle-life integration.
For now, until I dump or blow up this one, I picked up a Saddleman
tail-dufflebag. It is spectacularly ugly, but after a ride through the backwoods, I can stop off at the grocery store and complete a shopping trip (for 1 person, or a half-assed trip for 2). I just don't get how you ride so often and don't appear to have any storage?
