Nice. In 2020 for a jazz lab class, I bungeed my 1980's LeBlanc 7133T Vito (Jupiter JTS-689) tenor to the pillion seat of my 2001 Kawasaki ZG1200 Voyager XII. Class was 22 miles away at Eastern New Mexico University, Portales. It was a fun class.

Ooohhh, that made me laugh. Enough to stage this (OK, my bike was out, and I only had to spend 10 minutes extricating the bari case from where it rots in the corner...). Wife (whose head appears, Chad like, in photo 2) thinks staging requires more litter and graffitti 🙂 But now I look at it...this is not out of the question, with some reflective tape applied to each end...

I should mention that was my backup Grassi tenor bubble wrapped in a Hiscox case strapped to my TourPak over closed cell doubled padding. Traveled with it from Missouri to Florida and back, about 3,000 miles total. I did have a rain cover for the case, if needed. No problems.

HMS Harley. Waiting for the Campagne to arrive, to be launched. God bless all who sail in her. 😉

Right political regime, but wrong country. Ural 650 - this one retains its normal engine. I am meant to be going to a club rally this weekend coming, and am tentatively seeing if I can make it break down beforehand. With all respect to @Detroit Dave , this may be as much as a 130 mile round trip! I won't be taking a saxophone, but will make the weight up in tools and spares 🙂
