Default Bat?

I need some help on figuring something out since I havent come up with a plan yet. I need to come up with a way to carry a baseball bat on a motorcycle that will be safe for about a 20-30 mile trip with parts at highway speeds. Any suggestions?

you worried about an accident scenario? if thats the case, then hes right, i dont see any harm in a backback. other than that you could bungie it to the side or under your passenger seat. maybe strap it to your pass pegs somehow.

somebody owe you money?

Just hold it in your left hand and hit mailboxes as you go, I see no harm in that

It just sits real akwardly in a backpack (its a 34 inch long bat) and shifts around some so Im trying to see if I can come up with anything else.

Im considering trying the bungie to the side idea as I had thought of it before but not sure how comfortable its going to be since Id probably have to have a leg over it or something. We'll see.

But no, they pay up quick. Gotta keep the hos in check so they keep the payments prompt.

BTW, you find out who made that stand?

You could tie it to your back "Blade" style. You know,make a sling by tying a rope to the handle and back towards the end. I once carried a tire like that for 20-30 miles.

I think Im going to try that tmw and see how it works out. Provided it feels ok with having a backpack on also Ill probably go with that plan. Thanks

I carried an umbrella in a backpack on the back of my husband's bike once...I looped it around the backpack handle. Maybe zip tie it to the backpack?
