Motorcycle Carry??? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

What method of carry do the rest of you who ride motorcycles use when riding? My concern is that with vibration, etc I would need a holster with a thumb strap or other stronger retention than that offered by a Supertuck, CTAC, etc.

I tried doing a search on the board and didn't find anything on this so hopefully I'm not creating a duplicate thread.

Thanks.

Why would you want to carry your motorcycle? Why don't you just ride it?

Ohhhhhhh, ok, I get it now. How about a shoulder holster? I don't ride, but I would think this may be your best option.?. From my perspective, it seems like most everything else would either get in the way, or be exposed. ????????????

Well, I get better gas mileage riding my motorcycle than I do when driving my truck, but it's even better when I carry my motorcycle. I just don't understand why I get so tired.

I have a holster sewn into the lining of my leather jacket, but this time of year when it's too hot to wear my jacket I usually just carry IWB with my shirt tucked over the top and around the handgun in the holster. All you see is the clip on the belt.

IWB with something small. When my wife rides with me, i pack something bigger since she puts her arms around my waist... Oops, that didnt sound good...lol

I use a CrossBreed supertuck. I ride a zx-6r (sport bike) and have no problems with the gun getting loose. I ride in all different positions (sitting up, crouching over, standing up, laying down on the tank) and have never had a problem.

Actually, when I'm riding I can't even feel the holster or gun and have to check every now and then to see if I'm wearing it. Odd feeling - but never any problems.

Now, if you're one of those cruiser riders with the comfy seats and nice sitting angles, I don't know what to tell ya

. I'm sure it's even less of a problem on a cruiser.

I IWB with my 45c without problems... Hell, last time I was out, I fell on it. That was not the bitch part though, I pinned my leg under the rad shroud and it was a bitch to pick it up with one leg (dual sport)...

I wear a pretty heavy armored jacket and pants when I ride though, I imagine those help hold it in place quite well.

Thanks for the input.

Hopefully you weren't hurt bad (except maybe your pride).

Dood, if you aren't hearing a 'varoom varoom!' sound, that's why you are so tired.
