this thread gives me pain. i'm an avid biker. i had a nice mountainbike (well, a good Trek) and for xmas 2012 my parents bought me a bunch of saddlebags and the like for it so I could go on long trips/campouts with the bike
sadly i was living/working in australia at the time and the gov't changed the rules on me so i lost my visa, which btw is now costing me $200k/
had almost no time at all to throw away or give away all my stuff, including my bike. all the saddlebags and such went to the donation bin. thousands of dollars as i ditched about 2/3 of everything i owned.
and i had so many plans for weekends and expeditions on the bike and i'll never see that bike/country again.
