Snow ? what's that ? .......

Not I, but would like to add one. I was just going to pick up a mount from 
Saeng (http://www.saeng.com) and go from there.

Passenger (y/n) ?

I bought a canoe bag from LL Beans that I use for the camping gear. I have 
ridden through torrential rain and never had anything get wet. The bag 
looks very much like a duffel bag but is made out of rubber covered nylon. 
The version I have has a waterproof zipper that runs diagonally the length 
of the bag. I keep the tent, ground pad, sleeping bag, inflatable pad and 
bike cover all stored in it with plenty of room for the extras. Having one 
piece makes tying it off a lot easier. I normally strap it to the passenger 
seat - the top box keeps it in place. If I was running with a passenger 
then I would loose the top box and tie it off to the rack.

I don't have a picture of it on the ST, but if you use the link below, you 
can see the setup on my old Sprint with 2 GiVis.
