Well, due to my honda winter bike spitting out a baffle, i had to put the old Rocket back on the street sooner than expected. Its still a little chilly here but I enjoyed giving it some welly today.

What size Biker's Friend bag is that? I just acquired a large (I think), large diameter but not super wide. Do you ever use the backrest?

Yes, I ate all the pies lol. I think the bag is a ML. I used the back rest when it was on the speedmaster, it was comfy on long rides as I remember.
