Went on a "long" lunch and snagged pictures of the radio towers on SoMo in Phoenix on my klr.

OK I have lived in the Phoenix area all my life and didn't know about this... How do I find that road to get that close to them?

Go south on central and baseline. Its the sonoran bicycle path or something... just take central south from baseline and after about 1.5 miles you hit the park entrance. It can be busy on the weekends, but during the week its normally empty. Its all 2 lane up the mountain and back down with a LOT of blind turns and twists. Its a TON of fun, but a bit dangerous from idiot drivers thinking "15mph" suggested speed limit is really "2mph's or you die".

I hate that mountain....actually the mountain is nice, the park ranger is a dick, well maybe I was being a dick and going too fast.
He made us do the speed limit the whole way down....gaaaaaahhhhhh.

I had a friend just a few weekends ago get stopped and kicked out of the park for running the road too fast on his sumo lol.

I love south mountain, I try to drive up there in my miata every 2 weeks or so. Great way to kill some college stress.

Do you have any up close shots of your side bags and also how are they mounted? Why u have soft and not hard?
I do, but not on me at the moment. They are the wolfman luggage bags with the wolfman sold rack. "RSR Wolfman Side Racks" is what they are listed as on the invoice.
Why these vs hard? These are high quality. They are flexible in there usage. They are still usable off of the bike too.
Cool, thanks for the reply. I am trying to decide between hard and soft. I need to be able to lock them and leave them but if I can find some that are easily carried around, I might go with soft ones. Not sure really.
Its a hard call. They aren't the best for carrying around all day, more of a camp site type of portability. If you need something that can be secured, get a hard box. The soft cases are very easily cut open.
I have had mine opened and gone through a few times. It sucks, but oh well.
