Hey guys I just got my Z900 last week and I am already wanting to start commuting on it. I have my work setup down: Ogio Mach 1 backpack, carry my helmet and jacket to my desk, boom easy. Now I find myself struggling with the other things like meeting up with friends and going to restaurants. I want to be able to walk into a restaurant without screaming hey! I just rode a sport bike over here.
Give me some ideas on what kind of luggage or gear to order for my bike. Several years ago with my Suzuki Gladius, I used to lock my helmet to the bike and secure my jacket and gloves to the rear seat with a bungy net. I think a helmet lock is in short order, but I do not know what to do with my jacket. I tried a tail bag, but could not mount it to the rear seat.
Maybe its time I buy one of those stylish flannel riding jackets? I really do not like the idea of riding without some upper body protection.
I have also thought about getting a Shad or Givi top case, but I am not sure how long I will be keeping this bike and that top case will really ruin the lines of the bike.
Through out some ideas. I am all ears.
