How do you do it? IWB, shoulder rig, shotgun in saddlebag?

I was wandering myself for times when I want to bring a rifle to the range and don't want to drive my cage. I figure, I can get an aluminum case and bolt it to my bike.

Well, green member Chris just builds a custom rack for his rifle case. http://www.northeastshooters.com/vbulletin/threads/38486-Building-a-Rack-for-rifle-on-a-scooter

That's so awesome, a rifle case on the scooter! A set of chaps and this would be totally bad-a** ... sorry, I don't mean to make fun, but in my mind, people on scooters are the last among motorists to carry an AK-47, in my mind. Very cool!

Well, 1) he wears BMW kevlar riding pants, not chaps. 2) that's built to hold his AR-15 (.223 or .50 Beowulf, depending on which upper is on it), not an AK. 3) He's on the board of directors for GOAL, and he's been teaching the Home Firearms Safety course at Riverside for about 10-15 years.
I guess he's not a "typical" scooter owner.![[devil]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/015.gif "Devil [devil]")

I've worn a bunch of online vests. The one I like best was purchased at US Leather in Danvers. They make a great holster vest.

You can say that again!
I didn't care for that vest. One thing I found about most of the vests I purchased online was the holsters were inside the liner and/or sewn at the mouth. This caused an uncomfortable sag and a visible distortion.
The vests at US Leather are better made, and the holsters are supported 360 degrees. I carry full sized pistols with no sag or discomfort.
I've also heard Biker's Outfitters in Revere will make one to your instruction for not much more.
In a small pelican pistol case inside of my tank bag. IWB on the hip isn't comfortable for me and IWB in the middle of my back tends to get exposed when the coat rides up at highway speeds. May be a bit more comfortable on a cruiser but I haven't found anything that works other than a case for the sportbike.

knock-off ??? That's a genuine BMW ... albeit pre-war ... why change something that works? I'd love to get one of them, they used to be priced just above scrap metal, like SKS used to be around $100, not anymore. In the old country, most are still on the road, hauling sacks of potatoes.
Those BMW GS bikes are ARs of the bike world, a gun rack is something that I haven't seen yet.

Keep in mind, if your concerned about carrying while riding, you might wanna learn to shoot and carry lefty! Don't wanna let go of that throttle.....
As long as you've got it under direct personal control just a shoulder sling should do. Just kidding.

I usually throw this...
Gemini Customs SP101
Inside my leather riding jacket, the inside pocket of said jacket is zippered and the SP101 fits perfect. When riding with this CCW, the jacket never comes off... and I really mean NEVER.
When I do see the possibility of the jacket coming off, I will switch over to the LCP in a Nemisis pocket holster.

I'll usually pocket a Kel-Tek P-11 in a cargo pants pocket or drop it in the windshield bag. My leather jacket has inside and outside slash chest pockets with zippers that'll hold my 6906 or 65. I don't like IWB holsters on a bike. I don't trust the retention while riding.
I usually have 3 or 4 knives tucked away on me on the bike when I leave MA.

The vest has a nice pocket that fits the gun well and I can get to it pretty quick. And if I'll be off the bike for a while and want to take the vest off I transfer to the IWB that I'll also wear.
I don't really trust the IWB when I'm riding either.

Doesn't really help if you ride with gear that will actually protect you from the sun, rain, wind, bugs, and pavement.
