My Solution to Motorcycle Transport

[alexander]

I've been wanting to carry a gun with my bike under 12026.1, but the literal language of 'within a motor vehicle' has me turned off on using a backpack.

My FZ6 has a locking container under the seat (similar to a trunk) but: a) it's somewhat exposed to the elements (via the holes around the frame) and thus not 'fully enclosed', and b) I don't have any way to carry it concealed once I get to my destination without an additional locking bag.

I built a prototype waterproof locking bag out of Tyvek, but it wasn't secure enough. So while looking around for other options, I came across my perfect solution: a bank deposit bag.

It's got a secure reinforced zipper lock (secure enough to store funds), it's water resistant, and it doesn't look alarming. Best of all, you can get them at any office supply place, and they're cheap (around $20).

Here is my setup, a Glock 19 in a gun sock, with two 10 round mags:

Nice,

I dont have that luxury. There is no space on my bike. None.

Yep, I have the same problem as far as trunk space.

The last thirty times I was stopped for excessive speeding on my bike I was never asked if I was armed or transporting a gun.

Just kidding alexander, great post and pics. I dig it!! Do you live in a rural area where you can boogie on a bike to a plinking area?? I'm crazy jealous.........

That is pretty cool. Now can you figure out a way to comfortably transport a rifle?

Hell, I've strapped a long gun on my back and rode down 101 before! That was years ago. I would not recommend doing it today but, AFAIK, it's still legal.

I did that with my FAL when I sold it. Got some GREAT looks from people too

I did the same thing.........execpt on a Mt. Bike, in San Jose, riding home on Snell.

I also use a backpack and lock the pistol in the gun case. Is this not enough?

Many moons ago when I was living in AZ (happy days!). I was stopped by a motorcycle police when I was on my way to Prescott. At the time, I had a disassembled Feather At-9 in the tank bag, the barrel was sticking out of the bag about 6" and he did not even look at it.

It's about 30 minutes from my front door to three ranges; two outdoor, one indoor. I'm on the Central Coast, so they're a nice canyon run away.

I remember a while ago reading an article about a guy who drove his streetbike across country(I think) with his glock mounted on the side in a custom holster. iirc the police at his destination confiscated his gun for "safekeeping" upon arrival at his destination.

Anyway, it was a pretty awesome looking setup. The bike was completely black so the glock blended right in. I cant seem to find the article or pics though :/
