Swap Rides in Montana for New Zealand?
My riding buddy and I are thinking about trading rides with motorcyclists in New Zealand. We both have R1200GSs. What provisions for insurance and damage have been set in place for similar trades?

I am glad to see that others recognize the unsurpassed utility of the Mega-Topcase. Those who diminish the value are just jealous that they didn't think of it and develop the idea.

Mega-Topcase II
OK, so some of you thought the original Mega-Topcase was too large, so I scaled this new one back a bit. It is a Pelican 1620 case, which is much smaller than the original Storm case. :D

If so, was it done with a simple carburetor restrictor...
