Carrying a rifle on a motorcycle

[willtill]

By the way, nice DL650. I have been looking pretty hard at a DL650/SV650 this up coming season....I heard they are like a big couch with a little bit torquier SV motor

Thanks for your suggestions for carrying while on the bike. And yes, the DL650's are great motorcycles. I have a hard time trying to get off of it to ride my VTX1300R sometimes.

The VStrom's are very nimble and quick.

Kindest regards,

a case mounted to a motorcycle should be treated like the trunk of a car. should be perfect acceptable to police and keep your firearm clean and dry

I like those gun boots. I should be able to mount that bracket that attaches to them; on one of my rear Pelican cases

Even if you figure out a way to get your rifle there, what's your plan for a target stand? I have Givi hard bags that would probably hold my Sig 556 broken down plus ammo but my target stand is way too big even in pieces.

Which sucks because I'd love to take my VFR up there but instead I have to take my 10mpg truck.

I did not forget about that little detail



I am designing a folding target and collapsible target stand. That could be bungee'ed onto the other Pelican case.

Kindest regards,

Good move - colder and windier than a mofo out there today. Be pretty rough on a bike! (btw, love what you did with your SV)

Well....

....after a good night's sleep and more contemplation of this matter; I have decided to take the Tacoma to the range today. I don't think that it would be a good idea to end up in jail for New years Eve, though I would think that technically I had done nothing wrong.

Maybe I will approach this another day in the New year, with some LEO advice.

It's sad when we seemingly have to hide our guns.


Kindest Regards,

I would carry one just like this. But I dont have a motorcycle.

A Wee may be my next bike...that or a KLR.

I carry soft cased rifles and have no problems on my ST 1300 from my house to Sudlersville range right up Rt 301 in plain sight of MSP. But then this the Eastern Shore...where life is good!!

Nice. Mag is IN the rifle. I wonder what how this story ended.

You and me both. Probably on the 11 PM news somewhere, maybe with a trail of police cars and a helicoptor overhead filming.
One of the strangest experiences I had was about 30 years ago, going down I-40 in West Tenn., where police were chasing a car on the wrong side of the road. That fellow probably ended up under the jail somewhere at the speed he was going.

Isn't Arnold carrying a cut down Winchester 87 Shotgun?

I have a dual sport klx250 tagged and hunt on the shore. I leave are camp area and ride to several different parcels we lease with my 6.5 ar strapped accross my back without a mag in it of course. No problems as of yet and have seen several police and dnr officers in my travels.

[hole punch]

any idea where that is? and do the rule that it has to be unloaded apply everywhere??

 

[Tractor Boy]

funny thing is that pic looks like rt. 50 in MD.............. probably not tho

 

[kohburn]

lmao.. what size magazine is that? 50 round? now he's just showing off.

 

[kohburn]

I was thinking it looked like a couple roads in virginia

 

[Dst]

It looks a lot like I-95 South of the beltway.

 

[Tractor Boy]

^^^^^ yeah, there too, he's been all over the place man

 

[trbon8r]

Honestly I have no idea where this picture was taken. I just found it on another gun forum.

I think the magazine is a 40 round RPK type mag.
