Dude's thread on his trip out west triggered another group of photos I would love to see gathered in one place so this is the launch of the "Photo of your bike locked and loaded" thread.
Simple rules (that I am sure will be stretched, abused, worked around, and outright ignored).
Post a photo of your bike loaded up and ready for the journey to ... you name the destination. Doesn't have to be just the bike, people can be in the photo as well. So can pets, small rodents, even alien life forms if they are coming along for the journey and you needed to pack for them.
Photos of touring rigs are acceptable as well. Bikes with trailers, sidecars, trikes, non HD bikes, just no cages please.
No cute photos of the population of China stacked on to a Vespa along with 40 crates of live chickens please. No photos of vagrants on bicycles touring Western Zcblkistan. However, if you loaded up your BMW or KTM off road touring machine for the Dakar Rally and you want to post a photo of that, I'd love to see it.
Starting this thread with the photo "The Dude" posted of his secretly purchased CVO prior to take-off to the Tahoe CVO family gathering.
