Top one looks to be a Boss Hoss. The side car rig looks like it could be an old Ural.

If only the KLR came with turrent mounts.

It would make the deer problem out in West Texas a bit less of a problem for cyclists. :)

Exactly my thoughts on the drinking issue, but I also respect that others may not share those views. (not saying you were disrespecting them either, just sayin)

I generally do mostly long distance interstate trips on my bike as well, generally out west but I've also done my share of hitting old Civil War sites along the east coast too. While my first concern with carrying on the bike is what happens when I have a get off, the secondary concern is what happens when I ride into states where we don't have reciprocity. Thus keeping it close by but packed in luggage is ideal for me. Before I had bikes with hard lockable luggage, I'd keep the firearm in a tank bag or other soft luggage, but then would take the luggage in with me when I stopped for food/restroom or what not.

I'm pretty much in the minority here based on previous discussions, but I don't carry on body while on the bike. I've had enough wrecks on the bike, that I just don't want this mass of metal on/around my ribs and back when I have a get-off.

That said, it is stored within easy reach while standing near the bike, and it is stored in lockable hard luggage. It's not optimal, but it meets my risk assessment.
