Takedown rifle. I took my Triumph to get its annual turn-your-head-and-cough a month ago and on the way home stopped by an out of the way gun shop. They had a Savage 99 rifle I'd wanted for a long time, so I bought it on the spot. Then I remembered I was on the bike and didn't have any way to carry it. I thought about duct taping a long box to the cargo rack, but the guy at the shop reminded me it was a takedown rifle. He had a short canvas case that fit it perfectly, and I was able to lash it to the sissy bar.
BP: Maybe Dragon Leatherworks can make a scabbard for you? They're only about 3 hours from Atlanta. You need an excuse to go see Dennis' new shop. (Take your bike. He'll need to measure it.)
I've always said the secret to a happy marriage is to marry a gal that loves guns and motorcycles as much as you do... but that doesn't always work... now we argue about who gets the next gun or motorcycle...
GGGG - Pretty much in the same boat here, except she loves her current bike, and we have a prenup that states I can buy as many guns as I want; as long as she owns MORE. :P

Open Invitation for New Shooters
Just want to extend an open invitation to all potential new shooters in the Northern Virginia area. If you have never shot a firearm, or would like to get back into the shooting sports, or are an accomplished shooter who'd like to try something in my arsenal, give me a shout.
New shooters get range time, targets, gun use and ammo on me. I've even got extra eye and ear protection - all you have to do is show up.

I need to know how to carry a rifle on a bike
Scabbard. Like a 1942 Harley WLA.

Dave H, good idea, but I'm gagging for a scabbard. I figure in Georgia (rural Georgia at least) the only things the cops would say was "Cool!"
Scabbard, or just open carry a sawed off on the rear fender like the cops. They DO make mounts for that! :-)

My bike keeps me sane... sometimes it's the ONLY thing keeping me sane.

You need (NEED!) one of these to go with your Lee-Enfield. Um, you DO have a Lee-Enfield, don't you?
