I am wondering if anyone has any luggage recommendations. I would like to use this bike more, but it is hard to put things in your pockets and I feel like a bit of a punk riding with a backpack all the time, and some things just don't work well with a backpack.
I can't find much of anything available.
If I take a long trip (3+ days) the backpack would be insufficient for space as well, especially if I need to bring a tent.
I also wonder if anyone can share experiences with transporting long guns on their bike. Especially interested in law enforcement opinions. Pennsylvania is an open carry state, but one of the stipulations is to not cause a public disturbance.
I like going to the rifle range up the mountain, but I'm guessing I might get a hard time riding down the highway with an AR-15 strapped on my back. Wearing a case across the back might be OK, but I imagine it would act like a sail and catch all the gusts of wind going up the mountain and generally be a pain in the butt while riding.
I imagine with a luggage rack I could strap the gun case right to the bike.
If you cover it, you are concealing it which is frowned upon. If you get stopped by an officer it would be best to at least have the ammo and magazine locked in a separate box. I always envisioned asking the cop to hold the gun while getting to the paperwork under the seat, but I bet that would be less entertaining to experience than to joke about.
