Hi y'all... First, the top box. GIVI Dolomiti with the optional top rack/tie down point which I find mainly useful for perching stuff that would otherwise end up on the ground. Glasses while helmeting up, soda, lunch, etc. And I thought it looked cool.
The backrest pads are also optional and mainly to hide the exposed hinges on the front of the box. Box works well.

Tires are Conti Road Attack 120 front 160 rear. I like them a lot.
This is one of my favorite stops on this loop because it's a big place to park, it's about halfway, and from here you can decide to alter the loop and head south through Elk Creek and Stonyford and come out of the hills near Maxwell, or north past Black Butte and come out near Orland or Corning .
Also you can walk out on the abandoned bridge and watch Stony Creek run by. Used to cross the creek on it when I was in high school.

Finally, nobody asked but I cut down my windscreen to the Ferrets' specs, 11.25" above the key slot and it works great!! Looks like a poodle with a bad haircut but the windscreen and box both come off in no time.

Ben
