What passes for photos

pecuniumI've not been taking many photos, esp. on the road. It's a lot of work to get at the camera (I have to stop the bike, strip of some gear (at least the helmet and gloves, but more like all of it; lest I roast), unlock the hardcase, pull the bag out, and then hope the default lens is what I want.
But I've taken some. So here are a couple of them.
Rigged out
That's the load out. There's another bag on the far side, which has my kniferoll; a hat, the camera bag, and most of a box of earplugs. The near side has some clothes (jacket, chaps forcommodorified, the liner for my armor), a case of tiger's milk bars, some boxes of apple juice, tools (socket set, allen wrenches) the repair manual, spare gloves, an atlas of the US/Canada (with city maps), sharpening stones for the knives, and a towel.
The camelback has ready snacks, some earplugs, phone charger, headset, ready book, and batteries for the GPS, and about a liter and half of water (which I try to add ice to). Sadly I can't wear it, so it's under the cargo net, behind the backrest.
My jacket has the UPS, my phone, my wallet, my checkbook and my passport.
The big bag has the computer, my clothes, the books I've finished, or am not yet reading, a pennywhistle and the rest of my luggage.
Inside the bike (much harder to get at) are the BMW manuals, and some other things I might want, but don't need to be able to get at in a hurry.
All the livelong day
Just a grab shot of the railyard in Flagstaff.
