TOUR PACK travels with me
KATHIE almost everywhere I go ; however , I take what she calls a “ guy trip ” once a year . This year , I planned to go to the West Texas State Rally with two of my State Coordinators . I needed a travel bag to put on my backseat for this trip . My Indian Roadmaster has some pretty good storage in my saddlebags and trunk , but not quite enough for what I would need for a 10-day trip , 2500 mile ride .

I have no idea what that means . I just know my gear stayed dry . Not a drop of water seeped into that bag .
The bag is soft-sided , but rigid enough to hold its shape and includes some easily accessible , waterproof , external stash pockets . It even has an air purge valve to minimize it when it ’ s not full . I had it stuffed for this trip . It also comes with an accessory cargo net for the top of the bag , which was great when the sun came out , as I had a place to tie down my rain jacket to dry out .
Although the exterior is smooth and kind of slick , it has a nonskid
