How many of ya'll 2 upers

1. Take a Trailer and a T Bag or some other kind of luggage bag on back of bike?

2. Take only a trailer?

3. Take only a T Bag or other kind of Luggage Bag on back of bike?

[Yamifj1200]

I'd be a 3,
Hepco and becker saddle bags and top case, waterproof duffle across the rear seat and a magnetic tank bag on the tank....

2...only the Trailer

[motomac]

Carole and I are #1's. Bags are full, top box full, rack bag full and the trailer is full. Cooler has my clothes in it until we reach our destination!!!!

[Trailace]

Made a poll for this thread.

[HarpoF6]

Well, it depends on the trip... sometimes #2 sometimes #3

[Bluebullet]

We are a #1 ever since Carole brokered us a Bunkhouse at Moonshine.:)

[Ironheadziggy76]

The majority of the time #3, occasionally #1.

I'm building a monowheel trailer for when we camp together because of THIS:

I was a 2 uper, now a 1 uper. #3 for me.

But after three riding seasons on the ST1100 I have come to the conclusion this bike is not my cup of tea (coffee). It is up for sale and now I am searching for a new ride. I'm more interested in a more upright position. Had an 83 goldwing and enjoyed it.

mostly a #3. t bag and a Cabelas drybag.
when wife comes along #1. home made trailer with bags full.

[SidecarMike]

Even one up, I am usually a 2. I like the ability to disconnect at my destination and go off exploring without unpacking everything first. I also like the ability to bring home a souvenir without having to figure out where I can stuff it. We often take a day ride with an empty trailer, just in case we run across a yard sale treasure along the way.

[Indianscout]

I'm a #3 as my old bike can't handle two up and/or a trailer. Wouldn't mind a hack again one day.

[Dusty Boots]

When I used to ride 2 up(till the mid 80s), we didn't even need a T Bag for a week long trip, although I had a large Tank Bag. Things were really pared down, simple/basic, yet comfortable. I even had a Styrofoam cooler inside my top box! P^

Now, I very rarely ride 2 up and I am a # 3, carrying more gear now than ever !! :eek: :confused:

It's hard when I have a very capable 'Motorized Mule', but I should get back to my 'Backpacking Basics'. :o

So far I am a #3 - saddlebags and top case full, with larger stuff strapped to the luggage rack on the top case. This was with my daughter as passenger, she was able to pack pretty light. Waiting to see how things work out this spring ~ I'm thinking I might have to consider a trailer eventually.

[quadancer]

As all of us who pack Women must do! :rolleyes:

[Bruce Storts]

Wife and use only Baggs

[kayakinbiker]

I'll be taking my H2W bags and a Tbag with Georgia in it out west this summer...

[Jeff in Ferndale WA]

I voted # 2,but the trunk and saddlebags on the Goldwing are always stuffed beyond capacity:rolleyes:

[lytle1gw]

I pull the comb-camp but trying to figure out if the bike will pull a semi-trailer for all the wife wants to take:D

I couldn't get enough gear and the wife and the Princess on the bike for motorcycle camping...so I bought the wife her own bike. Now we have plenty of room.

[lytle1gw]

Your nice, but then now ya don't have to listen to her while riding:D

[Spartacus_63]

Interesting thought lytle, but we also bought Cardo-Scala Q2 radios. It is amazing what you can find to talk about on those long trips. :rolleyes:

[lytle1gw]

Well we've been together 47 yrs married 43 so have just about been talked out.:D

[Spartacus_63]

Congrats on the longevity. The wife & I have been best friends for more than 30 years. Still finding things to chat about.

[WingnutMike]

Voted #2.
With 33 sq.ft. of space we don't need any extra bags.
Now if the Wife had her way, We would be pulling 6 trailers hooked together and I would still be trying to find a place for my extra T-Shirt.:eek:
