Everytime I visit relatives in British Columbia, I get to bring stuff across the border to save them $$$.
Who rides motorcycles?

I grew up in that stuff. No sorry I left it. I can drive an hour and be in it, but I choose not to. No need to say you feel sorry, it shouldn't effect you emotionally

I did not write that I feel any sorrow for you.
Only a bit of sadness that the simple joy and pleasure of the changing seasons is lost to you.

When I was in high school, I would get out the BSA 441 "Victim" (Victor). After working way too hard to get it started, I would ride the mile over to the empty field next to the school building (It's not empty now ;-)
There, I would race up and down and throw great lurid slides across the frozen ground and snow.
Oh, That was in North Dakota! Winters were cold! I could only go for about 1/2 hour befor it was time to ride home and warm up. The roads were often hard packed snow, slippery stuff. Sometimes too slippery.
Great fun!

Mine just arrived. Unpacked and inspected them. I'm actually pleased. Zippers and straps seem to be decent quality. They are soft sided and narrow when empty. In the picture they must be stuffed with paper or something. Really for the price I'm happy with them. here is a pic just thrown over the seat. Will post a photo when the frames come and I get them on the bike too.

Glad it worked out for you Scootr.
I bough one of their talbags figuring I could use it for a backrest which it looked like I could going by the pic. It arrived and it was all of 2-3" high maybe, I think it also said it would hold a helmet, a skid lid maybe....back it went.

I found this battery voltage meter / phone charger on Amazon for $15
Peace of mind to know the battery is okay to shut off out in the wilderness plus a phone charger.

However a bad battery can have a surface voltage from the charging coil so as to appear good until the engine is shut down.

Good point, that can be. But daily monitoring a battery like the voltage drop under starting load will indicate a potential problem before it quits. Barring a catastrophic failure. Having a meter is better than not and a phone charger is a must if using a map guide. I plan to carry a jump start I already have too. I don't want to get stuck with a dead battery miles from home.
