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?

or ya know, you could just drive. or not take the bat? i mean it cant be that huge of a deal, you're not playing in the minors are you?

or better yet, play baseball closer to home.

are you gonna ride onto the baseball diamonds and do burnouts to impress the ladies?

Gas is cheaper on the bike and the boring ride down Rt 8 is better if I can at least be on 2 wheels. We have 3 or 4 bats on the team so if someone that has one doesnt show up or people forget them then we dont have much choice on what to use.

Id love to.

No sense in being a squid just for the couple reasonably cute girls that may show up.
