I recently got back from a little road trip I took. I worked the Moondance Jam in Walker MN. So since I was already up there I figured I'd continue on and make a road trip out of it. I rode up to the extreme northwest corner of MN. Then road down the western border until I reached Iowa. Then I worked my way along the Southern border and back to the TC. I simply did it cause I haven't been up to that area of the state before and I wanted to see it. I'm glad I did. I saw a wide range of terrain on this trip. And the Monster wasn't all that bad of a long distance bike. I usually put on over 300 miles a day.
Monster in pack mule mode.
On my way to Itasca State Park.
I never had any problems with my load out. I kept imagining if my pack suddenly shifted way over to one side how much time I'd have to correct myself before I'm in the ditch.
I know.. I know... saddle baggin' the Monster
, I'd much rather do that to her than take the cage though.
