I've been without a car for the last month, and likely will be without a car until about October. So I'm currently limited to getting around on my motorcycle (sportbike/crotch-rocket) or my mountain bike. Not being able to practice for the last month, my progress I was making seems to be slipping away.

Just wondering if any of you carry clubs on two wheels and how you do it. I know there are larger golf bag carrying systems for larger cruiser-style bikes...but I don't want to carry my whole bag, maybe just a few clubs to the driving range or I've got a 9-hole par 27 course a couple miles away where you dont need more than an 8-iron.

I was thinking a quiver type carrier worn messenger-bag style might work well to carry a few irons...almost like one of those heavy nylon bags that fold-up chairs come in. Or an extremely small/compact golf bag like this one http://www.discountgolfworld.com/pro...1-F5B99B33C0B8 or the Titleist Pencil bag...

On the motorcycle I'm not going to be going on any highways or riding at any speed. It's all pretty much city roads and side streets where the speed doesn't get up above about 25mph.

Suggestions welcome! I need to start practicing again.

Maybe something like this would work... You can google/search Trav a lite golf bag.

I would think aslong as you have a very compact bag and aren't travelling big distances you should be okay...

As you said I wouldnt be going onto too many main roads fast or carrying a full set.. I think that would be very dangerous especially turning.

This is not from experience but just my opinion

Thanks, Shane

I have hard saddle bags so I have something across the passenger seat and tailbag mount to strap them to. I put my golf bag in my travel case and strap it down...not using bungie cords cause they will break at the worst of times!

Yeah, unfortunately my bike has a really small passenger seat, no saddle bags or anything to strap to. So pretty much whatever I go with I'[ll need to be carrying.

Not sure those would work on a sport bike.

The bike rack they show here: http://2x2cycles.com/products/ is on a sport bike. Might be worth a call at least.

Yeah, no Just need to carry a few clubs. The Trav A Lite you posted is more along the lines of what I was thinking although I'm thinking smaller. I'd actually thought about making something similar out of 4" ABS.

If you have passenger foot pegs and use the handles built into the travel bag to strap everything through to the footpegs you should be able to cinch it down tight enough not cause any issues. I've done it on my old vfr many times....it's just a lot easier with my current bike! You just need to have a good travel bag to put your golf bag and gear in first.

OK, good to know. My bike is a TL1000, so similar to a VFR in terms of rear seat (maybe a bit smaller). I'm thinking about just taking a length of 4" ABS sewer pipe just long enough to carry up to a 7 iron, putting caps on both ends and then strapping across the back seat. Might have to experiment with that.

Hmm, I've got an Adidas University bag which is pretty small. Since getting my Ogio Grom, I use the Adidas to store spare clubs, alignment sticks, etc. I just loaded it up with my full set, minus driver and sat on my motorcycle with it. Feels pretty good actually. It's certainly lighter than my backpack usually is when I carry my lunch to work. I'd considered it before but thought it would hang too low and hit the seat. But with the straps adjusted up some, it rides just off the passenger seat. If I put the rain cover on it, most people probably wouldnt even know it was a golf bag. I might go to the range with it today and see how it feels.

[rujeltaoser]

ive done it before with my regular taylormade bag but it was a total pain in the *** id like to see if there is an easier way too

[encunnibriG]

I have never attempted it on my bike. If you are off of main roads, and have no real speed I think you could pull it off though. Just be safe.

Not that it is a real option, but a sidecar would both be very cool and an awesome way to transport clubs... not to mention seeing a side car on a crotch rocket would make my month.

[Staillateno]

mine too. I havent seen a sidecar in at least a year (except that one episode of Andy Griffith Show)

For that matter I could mount the bag on the ClicGear 3.0 and tow it backwards. I wonder if the ClicGear wheels are rated for 70mph???

I ride my bike (bicycle) all around seattle. When i was at the range the other day I saw a guy roll up with this:

Im seriously thinking about getting one. I have a car but I really try and drive only when it is necessary. Riding to golf instead of driving to golf would be a game changer.

I sometimes ride my scooter to the range with 4 clubs (driver and 3 irons). I wrap my iron heads with golf glove, then insert the heads of the irons into the driver head cover with my driver. I then place the heads of the clubs in between my feet so the shafts are in between my legs and up my chest. Admittedly, this likely isn't possible with a motorcycle, as compared to a scooter.

I have also place clubs in a back pack with a portion of the shafts popping out the top. The system worked well, but it made it more difficult for me to fly in and out of traffic (which is half the point of scooting in Chicago traffic).

When I ride my bike, I also bring 4 clubs, and just hold them in one hand with the other hand on the handlebars.

You'll be doing lots of wheelies? Any chance of making a deal with a local club with practice facility to keep your bag on site until October?

I kind of had an idea that I only tested once on my bicycle... I'm not a domestically talented gal so I couldn't make a prototype.

One of you guys might be able to though.

Anyway, for my test I used one of those roll up wrench holders... You know, the fabric things that hold a set of open-end wrenches?

You take all the wrenches out then pick out 3-4 clubs you want to take.

Roll the clubs up in the wrench holder and tie snugly.

Grab a couple strips of 1 in Velcro and snug one strip around each end about 2 inches from end of wrench holder. If you can find Velcro straps with little d-rings sewn in, they're the best.

Take a carry strap off a laptop or courier bag and clip the ends to the Velcro.

Put strap over your head cross-body so clubs go from upper right to lower left (opposite if you prefer). Tighten so strap pulls clubs in for less wiggle.

Get on bike... Go.

Don't fall off because it'll hurt you and your clubs
