It's Chinese built, so if 1) you can close the case , your good to go. if 2) you can't close it, then the wife is packing to much for you (see #1 to rectify) . I always pack way to much thinking I will meet Apocalyptic conditions out there and rarely find it's that bad. Spare master links to repair chain, some JB weld or equivalent to patch a hole in the case, flat tire fixings, etc will get you back home. You can buy other "necessities" locally on trip if you need more undies.
You guys going on the baja trip should get together the night before you leave CSC and reconnoiter about the tools and spare parts your taking. No point in having 10 air compressors and a bunch of duplicate spare parts. I doubt there will be any 2 break downs that will be similar. Maybe 1 counter shaft sprocket nut for good luck. rj

Fresh Balls is legitimately good product. It's good as a deodorant as well. If you don't like the scent, get Fresh Breasts, (shhh... it's the same without fragrance)
I should know, I'm the guy who designed all their packaging and marketing. I wouldn't endorse it, if it was just another product. |

Luggage weight rating.

So their lawyers are saying about 11 lbs. in each. Side note: My Gold Wing GL1200 manual says limit of 20 lbs per compartment, but I think a 12 pack of beer plus ice far exceeds that and I've had no problems. |

I think you can load the panniers for at least 20 pounds.

2" of new snow last night, and some more predicted for this evening. Aarrgh!
Looks like I am definitely leaving tomorrow morning with the bike on a trailer. See you all on Saturday! Cheers, Dan K.

Everyone traveling be safe.
I'm heading out tomorrow after work (hopefully early) from Parker, CO with bike on trailer. Hope to be Azusa by Friday afternoon. Look forward to meeting everyone in person on Saturday. Rojo

I drove out Tue and Wed to California. Had to take the southern route because Glenwood Canyon was closed Tue and black ice in Wyoming.
Had a wonderful ride today with friends in the hills east of Fresno. Fantastic twisties. The poppies and other wildflowers were abundant.
