if you are someone who only uses a bicycle or motorcycle for transportation, i'm sure you know how important a nice backpack is.
today, after a decade of using my kelty internal frame, i'm retiring it. my new pack is a chrome bag. it should look nice someday as my briefcase going to court. that's why i picked the black one. i bought a large dana designs internal frame for back backing & camping a few years back, so i decided a messenger bag was in order for day to day use.
its silly to do a blog post on this, but what can i say. i thought about how much use i got out of that bag. & i'm sure i'll still use it more. though its getting faded, there are no problems. no rips, no bad zippers. no problem.
i used it hitchhiking in northeastern minnesota, for a summer in mongolia, going to france twice, mexico, canada, peru, brasil, for my motorcycling around the midwest, california & arizona.
it has carried my laundry, flowers for dates, text books, groceries, & cases of beer.
since 1999 its been a with me for a lot of great adventures.
so i thought it was worth mentioning.
