What To Carry With You - The Magic Bag
In the December 1998 issue of "Motorcycle Cruiser" magazine, then editor Art Friedman wrote a couple of pages, listing items he carries with him either some of the time or all of the time. I won't re-type the entire article but below you'll find a list of the items and where they're carried (on Art's bike) to pick and choose what might be important to you.
