Yea,now you tell me.... Just kidding! I've considered that too but I think it will be alright. Especially now that I've already bought the damn thing! Besides, I'll feel better with my laptop on my back than anywhere else.

I looked at Wal Mart here. About the only decent rain suits they have here are for hunters, camo, and are expensive as hell.

I was told to check out Home Depot, but I'm lazy and the one I linked is cheaper than what I was told they are at Home Depot anyway.....

Um no sweetie, you DONT want to do that. Been there, done that, your back and shoulders will be in horrible pain after a couple hours if it takes that long. If you have a way to bungee or otherwise strap it to your tail section and maybe use it as a buttrest, you will enjoy the ride much more.

As for rain gear, my militay connections hooked me up, I ay look ridiculous, but I wont be wet. Tried and true...for feet, if you dont have other means, wrap your socks (on your feet) with plastic bags and then put your boots on, they may be warm, but they'll be dry!

Walmart rain gear is good for about 1 trip, it tears at the seams and starts leaking after a couple hundred miles...

I keep everything in my bags year round, plus spares in my tool box. Zip ties, tire gauge, tire repair kit, plastic baggies, stand pucks, bungee cables, kleenex, chammy... and more!

I'll come get it.. and I'll drop it back off at your place. don't worry about that. I'll come get it like the weekend prior... and drop it off the weekend after if that's cool.
