Well, most of my camp gear fits into the bags. The only thing strapped across the back is the tent and chair. A pic of my Trophy/campsite can be seen at http://reekyrider.com/4ImagesGallery/details.php?image_id=55 The same gear fits entirely in the 1150GS' Jesse bags. I usually don't take the chair along, but that trip was several days and many stops long. I'll be testing the entire GS load out starting next Thursday on my way to Moab, Utah. Four days wandering out, three days there and four back to see all the sights between Michigan and Utah. Yes, I'll be doing a ride report daily when internet access is available. Pics too.Warm you popcorn machines.
