Don't you just love the SR9? I've got the full size and it's a great gun to shoot. Accurate, never had a shell not eject or get hung up or anything. I put a few hundred rounds through it, clean it and do it all over again. Can't say enough good things about the Ruger SR9. Now they make the series in a 40 cal.

Looks like a nice kit by the way...Sorry I got excited when I saw the Ruger...LOL

 

nice i need to get me a bike soon

 

The sr9c is amazing! I love it I really hope they come out with an sr40c! I'd buy that!

 

I love your setup. You did a excellent job on the backpack. You have good taste to. The Ruger SR-9 is my favorite pistol and I have more expensive 9mm. I like this gun more than my 2 Smith and Wesson MP-9 9MM.You get 2 17 shot magazines on top of it. I have 12 9mm pistols. The Ruger SR-9 is hard to beat.Mine keeps on kicking ass on the range.

I ride a Gold Wing Trike but my sport bike is a custom VTX1800. I poured lots of money in changing this bike.I get both worlds with the VTX 1800. The bike is fast enough for me. I'm over 50 but haven't grown up yet. I had a RC51 a few years back.I be dead by now if I had kept it.

I installed hard bags and a back rack on my sport bike.I just strap a small cooler on the back.My gold wing trike has a large trunk. I built a bike trailer to carry my two motorcycles with a drive up ramp.I built is to go to bike week in Florida. Now its my survival trailer.

 

Great pics and thanks for sharing!

My only concern, have you tried your "one bag of Gatorade"? IMO those bags are pretty terrible. But if you like it, good for you! I still have to have the bottles of water with the packets of crystal light or whatever for extra flavor. Although I do drink 90% water in my diet currently, so it's not a big deal for me regardless.

 

Living the dream, Davy. I would get a bike myself if there was any decent open space around here.

 

Thanks guys! Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

A small air pump that runs on your bike battery wouldn't hurt.

 

Thanks for the post, I have an old Honda (1984 VT700C Shadow) and I just finished fabricating a mount so I can put my Condor 3 day pack on the bike. I plan on doing some camping motorcycle style this summer, and this gives me some ideas. When I get it all sorted out maybe I will post some pictures.

 

Looks good...I also ride. Street bike is a 08 Busa and I race a GSXR1K...among the other 11 bikes in my garage..lol.

I've found over the years of riding to carry zip ties, tire repair kit and a small tool kit. Duct tape is another good one but I see you have it in there already.

Be safe and keep the rubber side down

 

The key to a good survival bike is, "How quiet is it?" If your bike is too loud, it'll draw attention to you and your location. Now, go test your bikes for loudness and think ahead of trouble. Will your bike draw attention to you? Is there some sort of way to very quietly operate your bike? If so, what tips can you give us which will help us who own bikes?

 

Oh no this is not a survival bike by any means! This is purely and simply a toy! I have tge loudest pipes money can buy on this so everyone in a four wheel death machine can hear me and know where I'm at!

If I were to choose a survival bike I would go with those BMWs they rode around the world.

I made this pack in case I crash, break down, run out of fuel, or anyother emergency that comes up!

 

I have thought about toting some spare fuel, but decided it is a better idea to carry a length of hose instead. You might think of trading a cyalume stick or 2 instead of the weight/bulk of a flashlight. I love my sr9c as well!

 

Sweet setup....ummm maybe some condoms to go with the cologne, lint roller, and spare clothes. ::thumb:

 

how is riding with the ITW CC setup? I would think that would get uncomfortable after a while. I have been eying the SR9 or the new Bodyguard auto for a while, but I just can't give up on my P3AT, it just feels sooo good around my ankle.

 

I would invest in a good knife or a Gerber Multitool. And a siphon as opposed to carrying fuel.

 

Some sort of tyre weld/quick way of reinflating a punctured tyre would be a high priority travelling in deserted areas. I assume you take a cell phone also.

 

looks good :thumb:

 

I would suggest a small water filter bottle.

i like it. very good idea

 

One of the saddlebags on my bike is my dedicated "emergency" kit. In it, I keep:

Tire repair kit, consisting of patch material, "slime", and air compressor that runs of the battery (I have a 12v "outlet" on my bike) all in a zippered case

3600 calorie Mainstay ration package

20 oz water bottle (and water purification tablets)

50 ft. length of Paracord

AA size "gooseneck" flashlight

Emergency "blanket" and poncho

Tool kit (including spare fuses)

Esbit stove and fuel tabs, plus firestarting supplies

First aid kit

Shelter kit with tarp, rope, and tent pegs

I also have a "trunk" on my bike, and besides my registration/insurance cards, I keep a map, pen, writing materials, extra gloves (so I have both warm and cold weather gloves) in there.

If we're going out for more than a short ride, I usually throw a couple extra water bottles and some jerky in the other saddle bag, as well.

 

Didn't see it mentioned but some Celox or Quickclot might be a good addition to the first aid kit you have.

 

I wondered when you'd get to the gun.

 

As mentioned a tire repair/inflation kit and some minimal tools would be a good idea.
Also I'd ditch the ITWB holster and look at other carry options for on the bike. If you are unfortunate enough to have a get-off, a chunk of hardware like that inside the waistband is going to leave a hell of a mark. Been there done that! Now I ride with empty pockets/waistband...

 

dunno if youre interested but new enough had some Nelson Riggs bags on sale....i bought a tank back(wide enough to fit my laptop) saddle bags and a tail bag all for less than 200$

 

I probably need to ride one of the gay a$$ reverse three wheelers. Just to keep it upright and between the lines. Unless I am bending the truth a little.
