Haha man its amazing how different two bikes can be. I haven't road this bike but 2 times. I mean why I had a new one to ride. Well last night I was hauling in bear bait and killed the bike 3 times I think. Its geared a little higher then my 08. I definitly need to gear it down for what I do. So here is how I'm loading my bike to go in. I have (1) 5 gallon bucket strapped to the front fender. (Weighs about 30#) I then have a 5 gallon bucket and a 2 gallon bucket on my pack frame. (Weighs about 50#) Then on top of the bucket on front I strap down (2) one gallon containers of syrup.
Man you think kick starting a old WR is hard trying doing it loaded... anyways with the added gear, the tall gearing and the old bike I was missing my 08 really bad. Oh and you wanna talk about the front end sliding. I haven't put on the new tire yet and that extra weight made that baby slide bad.
Anyways when I go back in I will try to get pictures of the set up. Anyone have any pictures of their bikes loaded down? Since we are hunting a bear right now I'm hoping to have a picture sometime this year with a bear strapped down to the back of the bike.
Until then show me your pictures people!
