volume of side bags

[Intech]

If I can get a helmet full of beer to stay in my case, do you have any idea what that would mean??? That would mean my helmet would be waterproof and probably a lot quieter than it is now!

I'm glad Intech is so infatuated with alcohol at 0830. Makes me think he's up to no good!

Who? ME?

Makes me think of that commercial for the drunk driving checkpoints. there should one with a guy in a FF helmet that he flips up and beer comes pouring out.

Sticking up for the new guy:

The reason why it's important (for anyone) to know the volume of the FJR saddlebags isn't so you know how many liters of stuff you can fit in there. I mean, who the heck measures their stuff before they pack? It's so that you can compare them to other saddle bags and/or tour packs. So, knowing that the FJR bags are roughly 30 liters tells you that they are relatively small bags, even in comparison to, say, the ubiquitous Givi E36 bags, which are 6 liters bigger each. Or to a V46 touring trunk, which will hold half again more stuff than an FJR side case.

Each side case will hold 24 cans of Reddi Wip iirc. :blushsmiley:

It's always good for someone to fill in my brain's blanks

But I still don't see what difference it makes - unless you can use other brands of bags in lieu of the OEM cases??

OTOH, I really don't give a frog's fat ass.

I haven't ranted since, at least, last evening at work. I needed the release

Now wait aminute! That was MY bottle at the Greens and Wets!

Really ??

IIRC, that was late in the evening.

You, my friend, have very good taste in postprandial drinks

Because, my dear, some people have more than one bike with saddle bags...

I know it was late. If you remember there were only three of us left out there when all was said and done. And it's not just for after a meal either!

How does knowing the volume of the sidecases affect ....anything? :blink: I know I can pack a s**tload of t-shirts, jeans, cosmetics, computer, Makers Mark,ETC into mine and live out of them - plus the topcase - for 3+ weeks. Longer if I ever get the opportunity. When I can't fit everything I (think I) want or need, I start jettisoning. The fact that each sidecase holds about 30 litres means diddly squat to me.

Fixed it for ya Mary Ellen!

That falls under ETC :lol:

This is a funny thread. Usually we're interested in the volume of the fun bags.

What are you? Crazy? Everyone knows that more than a mouthful is waisted. What is the volume of that?

Now you've got me confused.

Just make sure the beer's...in cans...

If you have ever wondered if the side bags are water tight we have tested and proven that when a bag is filled with beer at what ever pressure shaken beer can produce the bags don't leak a drop.

...and that is important.

What do you mean by "...three of US..." ?! Do you have a witness - who's willing to come forward ? (I agree about the preprandial sips )

ME you forgot you need to a pack your after ride attire.

Marcus - where was that? I see Barb in the photo but ....no one else? And I'm sure the credit card receipts from that trip are long gone

Ya got nuthin', fellas. I'm clean :angel:

We're talking about mouths here, 'zilla - not hands. What can you do with yours ?

I am really surprised that you were the first to comment on the threesome. All the "funbags" talk has these guys distracted.

I never saw that commercial. exactly what I was thinking of. The only thing he did wrong was not take a big gulp to clear his mouth before he answered "NO!"

Wow. What a great idea.

But I think it might be easier on the bike to use one of these trailers...

Now why didn't I think of that? :huh:
