Aahhhh the Old school days
So true!! I had the tool bag then I had the parts bag. Between 'em they must have weighed 30 lbs. I still use the tool bag. I don't carry much in the way of spare parts anymore except maybe a tail light 1157 bulb on long trips.

Man I love sitting with my Grandpa, listing to his old Indian and Harley stories. How they used to take their street bikes and hill climb with them or trail ride through the woods. Ride double with a solo seat as one has broken down. I would like to see some of the new street harleys hill climbing, ramping rail road tracks, trail riding etc. It is almost impossible. Would have been neat to see.

crickey, "old School" - just get out and ride. Aim high, keep bike running, the rest looks after itself. It's easy to see the difference between a bike that has been ridden, vs. one that has been, I don't know, "constructed" to look like something?

Yeah 30 lbs sounds about right. If not more.
