Nothing wrong with riding a cruiser, I just don't think I'm that "experienced" yet...
Holy cow! It's a fort on wheels! I was toying with the idea of getting a cruiser type touring bike, but if it is twice the weight of my current one, I'm sot so sure... Do you have a photo of yours up on the net somewhere? I'd like to take a peek of it.

Sure - show me yours too ok?
That's my bike in my signature, but lets see if I can figure this out. Let me know if this works. I am putting a bit more chrome on it this year, or trading it in for a 2012 Road King.http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.288162257904289.78717.100001315507129&type=3&l=a968382417

Nice hot rod you have there. Is it taking a nap? It doesn't look tired. 
The 16 inch apes saved my shoulders. I had to get everything set up ergonomically so I have the proper mustang 4 piece seat, the correct angle and height on the apes, and everything for my wing span and in seam. I'm picking up a sheepskin for my butt from Ikea for $40 too - the Rens I think it's called.
Now that I've seen your bike you can easily have a picnic basket. Look up the Trangia mess kit from MEC, and the 2 litre or 4 litre dromedary, and you can get a blue mesh bag with a couple of plates, cups, bowls, knife, fork spoon, salt/pepper shaker etc. It would all fit in your travel pack along with your coffee/coffee mate in little plastic travel bottles, and a couple of cans or tupperware containers of whatever. All available from MEC. If you need help let me know and I can try to itemize, but when you go make sure you speak with one of the 'super camper' employees. They have all the good tips.

LMAO A.K. Obviously your dad never beat your *** for leaving your bike lying in the middle of the driveway while yelling at you about a kick stand!
It was 2live&ride who needed the picnic upgrade. My bike is not a SS by any means. I'd kill myself instantly on one of those.
I plan to mount two Pelicans on the side soon, and I'm good to go for weeks.
Sorry for the tread hijack!
Here is another good link for day trips: http://www.sundaymorningrides.com/canada/

No, he usually went like this: Don't you dare to buy a motorcycle! Ever!

Very impressive looking bike and yeah - not kidding - didn't know what an SS was at all. As I said, I'm pretty so I don't have to be smart. Ok so I'm not pretty either.
Is there no option for a bag of any sort on the tail? Even a small one that could be removable? Oh well - I guess your bike is for riding the way you want to ride. Mine's a camper

He could fit a tank bag and I'm sure there's some after market method for attaching a tail or saddlebags.
I'm not big on tank bags and saddlebags? Really? lol...
If anything I might just my girl to strap on a backpack.
Give her a backpack if you're not planning to date her for very long.
Lol... It's that bad?
Cool! A little more chrome than I could handle, but it looks very nice. How's the apes working out for you? Did you go for longer rides with it? Didn't it bother your shoulders?
Here is mine:
Looking almost like a proud hunter with it`s kill (road kill :lmao
!Did ya gut and fillet it right on the spot

I couldn't. We were out in the boonies in Quebec. I needed to get home somehow. It was hard enough to get it back rubber side down with a help of my friend. My boots didn't have much traction on gravel.
Try riding on the back of a GSXR 750 for 6 hours with a backpack, then get back to me.
I hear that...
We won't be getting into any serious long distance riding until she's 100% comfortable/confident.
Short destinations at first until she gets comfortable on the bike to take longer trips (3/4 hour rides etc..)
I have taken this into consideration. Thanks for the heads up.
