For my maiden voyage I traversed westward through forest and swamps untill I hit the mighty mississippi.

Hi Mad

Nice photo, I have fitted plastic ammo cans on my MT350, got them from Colemans Army Surplus in the US for $20 each. They also had some smaller ammo cans, but I needed more space for my stuff for rallies, and camping weekends with the MT club

Thank you. Yours look good and probably weighs less. The first box I tried to use were to big but I'm happy with the size I have.

Nice bike, nice river. Was it easy to find an MT in the US? I'd formed the impression that they were impossible to register for the road.

Thank you. There were only about 500 made for the US and I've been looking all over the country for one for about 10 years and the ones I found would have several thousand miles and they would want like $15,000 for it. Come to find out there was one sitting at the harley dealership about 50 miles from my parents house and has been there since 1999. It's the same one I saw for the first time and made me want one in the first place. Long story short I got it with 0 miles for a third of the price of the used one. Registration was easy but they didn't have a listing for it under insurance so I had to insure it as a kit vehicle.

Surprising, I've seen them popping up on ebay with ultra low miles -usually with a Buy it Now of $8,000 or so
