What I did to my GZ250 today thread
 

I think every forum needs to have one of these, this is not limited to just GZ250's but all motorcycles and motor vehicles.

I'll start;

Today Qasual bought me a tank bag yay, and a hydration bladder ~

Fits nicely, it is a Rapid transit recon 19 bag if anyone is wondering.

Goodies and a pic of Cathy. What a way to start my day. Thanks so much for the pic. Now we have a face to put the name to when we are here.

Cathy you will find the tank bag a wonderful place to keep things organized and safe. A fine place to keep a tire pressure gauge and a small 1st aid kit amongst other stuff. Oh yeah, the required camera of course.

Qasual - Lots of rain, I think it is about time to un-insure and clean the GZ up and put her in storage. After Cathy outgrows the GZ (Maybe never) I think a Cafe' racer is in order.

Qasual, I was just checking CL in Vancouver. Some one is selling a 1989 Honda Spada 250. Did a little research and it is quite a neat bike. Might be a good fit for Cathy. Still light weight enough and looks to be a good physical fit too. Not really meant for a 6 foot rider. And 40 HP out of a 250 V-twin.

Qasual - That was on my shopping list awhile back but the Marauder was such a good deal and I even have support from a riding school if I have problems. Tons of 250cc sportsbike getting introduced though, that may be interesting.


On topic : I sat on the CBR and missed riding :S .

Cathy,

You'll have to give a us a pic of the tank bag when it's installed. I like the idea of a bag but not necessarily sure if I like the look.

Not sure if Cathy's is the same, but mine has straps to turn it into a backpack when I leave the bike.b61.jpg

That's a nice feature. Does your helmet fit in that bag?

Also, is it that tall when it's on the bike?

Yes (although my back box is big enough to take two helmets) and the bag expands even bigger, by means of a zipper around the base. It also came with an elasticated, clear plastic, cover for when it rains. Another useful feature is a clear map pocket on the top. I've got saddle bags, a big back box, and the tank bag, because my GZ is a workhorse.

Not as tall as the handle bars, it was smaller then I thought it was. Still super useful though, I don't like saddlebags. Mine is a Rapid Transit Recon 19.
