Alright, so I started thinking about all of the gear we need to haul around to our various gigs. We have our individual rigs (briefcases, KB stands, etc), the amp, and the speakers. Since we planned on biking it to increase our range, it would be more than a little akward to try to carry all that stuff to the deep playa.
I can probably handle my briefcase and the amp in my backpack, but speakers and a stand are going to be difficult on a mtn bike.
So, I think it's prudent that we brainstorm a method for lugging everything around. Any ideas?

Tue, June 27, 2006 - 5:04 PMYeah, that was an idea we tossed around a few weeks back.
Kevin is looking into a couple of cheap wagons we found posted on craigslist. Hopefully at least one will still be available. -

Re: Haulin' Ass
Fri, August 25, 2006 - 12:07 AMi am bringing a garden cart, a little heavy but some buff person can tote it tied to a bike, i'm sure.
It's mostly for carting our troops fire toys a fuel too the burn so it is free to use but can't get lost.
It's a heavy option but it will be there. -

Re: Haulin' Ass
Wed, June 28, 2006 - 6:02 AMActually posted this in the wrong tribe.... but the $10 RF is sold already. I can get the $25 - should I go ahead and do this? I would have to ship it out to you and you could use it on a bike. I won't have a bike this year unless we come across a cheap one on our way out to the playa. -

Re: Haulin' Ass
Thu, June 29, 2006 - 6:25 PMCheap ass bike would be good.... also no luck on those used flyers anyway. The one I could get would've ended up costing as much as a brand new one off ebay.
