just watching that Beijing trip with Kev Sanders and a group of wannabes--if anything would put you off buying a newish GS for that sort of trip then this would. Kev's ok cos he can ride(and I believe has now gone Triumph anway). there is an 800 GS in there which is ridden by a twit and that copes w...

They are large with a good and long velcro strap system over the seat. I used mine on the Dragon this year--and we know how wet that was!--You simply (as I've said before)--have to mount them so that the straps are not too far off the vertical--and because they are large exhaust outlet needs to be c...

that explains it--thanks!

Do you mean park in the bottom end of their very long car park and walk through the gate?--might turn up thursday if I can get a dry(ish) run down.

I don't understand how such a large cluster occurred in Italy without being detected for a while--we've heard nothing about the potential source?--if we ban all air travel that would help--get back to a 1940s war economy with land girls etc--I was born just after the war and we had no running water ...
