Great pictures! I think that giant redwoods are just about as cool as motorcycles.

Hey Andy, maybe next year you can make it.
The cooler actually worked out very well, it's waterproof, crashproof, and it's about the perfect size to fit the back of a GS {Width and Length} (Mine has a short BestRest Cargoshelf, that helped with two of the straps, but not needed) Everything you see was relatively light, the WP (yellow) bag had a down sleeping bag and some warmies, (maybe 10lb), the cooler had my laptop, some food, and a Pendelton Fedora (Brown Hat) (Maybe 10lb). All the heavy stuff like a that liter of Scotch and camping fuel, stove, lantern, shovel and bike rescue stuff was low in the jesse bags.
So to answer the question, it made a very nice back rest, other than that I didn't know it was back there. Riding everything was at or below shoulder level so it didn't even catch the wind.
Ice was purchased locally and disposed in the AM, so I only carried it with 15lbs of ice for about 2-miles.
It twere a very nice color-matched top box.

Russ thanks...that sounds great...I like the backrest idea. I was riding my buddy's Valkyrie the other day after servicing it and the backrest makes a difference on the ride for sure. It took a 120 miles just to check out that I changed the oil and filters right for him...lol.
It sounds good for next year too...the Karoos go on this week for the winter fun to commence on mine...

Finally home. I had the most wonderful time, with some very amazing people in some amazing country. I cant describe how wonderful this trip has been. I will be putting up some of my pictures, and for anyone who hasnt been to the redwoods, it is such an emotional experience to see them, and know they are such anciet trees.

Wellll... There's the Deming Gathering and BBQ over Veterans Day weekend, in Deming, NM. I'm going, I've volunteered to keep an eye on the smoker during the graveyard shift. I'll probably leave on Wednesday, and get back on Tuesday. Here's what it was like in 2003.Honu said:So.... When's the next one?
