Motorcycle riders- How do you store your gear while riding.

[stuntsunltd.]

Just curious to see how those of you who ride a mc carry/transport your gear. My setup is a simple 650 eGo and a bottom coil clearo so it just slips in my pocket. Was curious to know if anyone has any other ideas that would make it easier to vape while cruising at highway speeds.

I likely don't count ... I ride a Goldwing, lots of different places to stash the gear safely... vaping at highway speeds is a bit more difficult, I am HIGHLY considering an eRoll so that I can clench it between my teeth like a smoke ...

HTH...

 

[ConradM]

lol, I probably wouldn't vape while riding.

 

[ConradM]

But I ride canyons at 7/10ths 80% of the time.

I use a handlebar bag to put the gear in that I know I will use right away, otherwise they just go into the saddlebags, but do like the bag as it is easy to access.

Thanks all... when i smoked id clench the analog betwen my teeth and smokeless tobacco was neveran issue... made the switch to vapor to be healthier and ive always either smoked or dipped while riding or driving in my truck. Was considering either a fork bag up front or fabbing up some sort of kydex holder

Tank bag is where the mod with the tank goes.......Simple little magnetic bought at a Harley shop cause my .357 magnum fits in the lower compartment perfectly and the mod fits in the top with the sunglasses and sunscreen like it belongs there.....



BUT, in my right front shirt pocket goes a 900mah EGO with a clearo on it.....I take a piece of fish-tank tubing, put it on the clearo, run the other end into my full face and vape going down the road....(brake hand not throttle hand....If ya need to be on the brake ya don't need to be vaping.....)

cruiser chopper and touring style bikes have it easier. I dont get to vape and ride as the only place my vape can stay is in my pants pocket or backpack. Only issue with sports bikes no real storage area's or at least any that dont look out of place.

I do however like kevin littell's idea but most of my work commute is stop and go traffic so i would be getting short puffs. so it may not even be worth the hassle for my 15 minute commute each way. Any long distance trips we take the wifes car.

 

[ConradM]

I'm guess you guys don't wear full face helmets?

 

[stuntsunltd.]

Just a brain bucket... I have a full face but only use it when its cold out. Were im at temps average between 85 to 100+ with humidity at 80% or better most days so a full face just results in sweat in myeyes

 

[Shalwend]

always wear an overall to and from work... so it's always in the top pocket...

I'm kinda new to the whole vaping scene but as a sport/ adventure rider, I've always had a tank bag. Dowco Fastrax series. It goes everywhere I go, at least on the bikes. It's magnetic so it works like a charm on my SV, not so much on my adventure rider though with it's plastic tank covers. Thankfully, it has a set of straps for such an instance. My daily commute is about 20 minutes in semi stop and go so that doesn't matter much. I used to ride in to work and light up as soon as the kickstand went down. I ride all year long in Nebraska weather and work at a bike shop so I'm sure I can figure something out but for the time being the tank bag or shirt pocket is where it goes. Any extra equipment I may need, at least on short trips will go in a hard bag but I don't foresee me wanting a vape on the twisties or the fire roads. I'll save it for when I stop. Just my 2 cents.

I should also mention that when I take the step through (yes, I own a scooter too) it has a boat load of under seat storage and a pocket in the leg shield that I added a drink holder/ glove compartment to. That's my winter commuter mostly and the wife rides it in the summer time. I don't own a car so space is at a premium. Luckily everything is modern enough to not have to carry too many tools which means there is always room for my passthrough and a couple of bottles, spare tank, what have you.

I'll probably throw mine in the tank bag as well.

Cool. I ride a Yamaha Majesty (a 400cc scooter) all year round. I don't let temps slow me down but if I see frost, flurries or potential for any moisture freezing on streets I use a car. I've ridden down to 14F but the average this time of year is in the 20's. I have to keep my gear in the trunk just so it doesn't freeze. Last summer, I was using Green Smoke so I could hold it and brake with the same hand(I use the two-finger brake style). Next summer, I'll have the 134 with me for the first time. I'm going to have to fashion some sort of in-dash holster.

I just use one of those small loop bungie cords with the ball on the end, and attatch a small piece of pvc pipe with one end sealed, to the handle bars. and just slide my ego in and out of the tube.

As far as the helmet question I use a modular helmet. Flip up to vape flip down to keep my mug protected.

 

[jdanderson1449]

The modular idea is pretty good. Although, the ones that are on the market that are well put together are expensive, $400+ for a Nolan N104, and the ones that are reasonably priced are entry level at best.

I do rock 3/4 sparkles like old 70's Arthur Fulmers and Bucos but mostly for a townie. When I'm on the road, it's solid full face all the way. I would think that a pen style 510 or a couple of disposables would work well if I had to get a fix on the highway.

I wonder if I could get my passthrough behind the chin bar of my dirt bike helmet. This requires further investigation, TO THE BIKE CAVE!

I thought of doing this, but I do wear a full-face/modular helmet, mostly to keep from catching any more stinging insects. During the ride, I zip it up either in the jacket pocket, or tank bag. Pull over every 60-90 minutes and stretch legs, but vape rather than inhale the .... or two, as I've done in the past. During shorter rides, I never felt I needed to light up a cigarette while on the move.

I had thought about a lanyard type setup, but thought the drip tip might fall out, or the clearo unscrew itself, due to all of the wind buffetting. Maybe some sort of bent/right-angle drip tip, and adhere to inside chin bar of helmet?
