Mechanics bag o’ tricks

I’m nearly done packing up the Mobile Bluepoof Garage for the Alaska trip. I think we’re pretty much set for anything that won’t require a hoist to lift the engine.

Helimot’s large toolbag rocks. It’s sturdy, folds up compactly, and holds a ton of crap. Definitely designed by riders. Plus, they had a blue one in stock that perfectly matches the blue leather on my riding suit.

The bag, fully stocked and velcro’ed up

With a DVD for scale (any other ATHF fans in the house?)

Opening up the bag…

And fully unfolded.

Stuff! Stuff!
