Setting off on a ride from NH down to NYC; from a beautiful lake side dirt driveway to paved concrete jungle surrounded by skyscrapers in one afternoon.
Yes, that is my 1982 issued U.S. Navy sea bag strapped to the back of the bike. I can't tell you how many suitcases I've gone through the years, how many fell apart getting through bagage claim, but those sea bags never wear out. Or at least not the old canvas version I had - years later in an airport I saw a recruit had a polyester sea bag - ugh!
