A few comments here, the Namnah bit? Well, anything connected to horses is expensive, trust me, I KNOW! Simple solution, car boot sales! Have a trawl through your local car boot sales, there's always a sheepskin lying about at the right money!

I use sticky velcro on the seat and sewed on strips on the ewe, easy removed!
I just strap stuff to the seat, simples!
Ride out? NE Scotland? The morn!

How about a 40 language translator :laugh:

I thought there is no way I can learn 10 languages for our summer jaunt.

Mind you we have had it ten minutes and tried the obvious rude words in all 40 languages :laugh: I dont think we will ever grow up :woohoo:

Has anyone seen those little 'boxes' that sit infront of the rider on a motorbike for little dogs?! I saw a couple on their bike with their doggie on board...is that allowed? :huh:

In order of priority:

1. Get a trickle charger for the garage - save that battery!

2. Secondly, scott oiler for the chain.

3. Power socket (for sat nav).

4. Luggage - top box before panniers is my preference.

5. Oxford hotgrips - don't travel in N Europe without them!

My Varadero came with a Hugger, Not sure what it's purpose is though, anyone?
The first thing I fitted was crash-bars and scot-oiler then Aux lights, socket, a Givi sat-nav holder and a fenda extenda.
Maria has just bought me some ally panniers (from Klaus, Germany) but they are for christmas when they arrive. And my Givi ones are on e-bay to compensate for the cost.

Being a bit of a poser :laugh: I am trying to find stickers on e-bay for the 14 countries I have ridden through to add some cred to my new panniers. Is this cheating?

Mods for the Tenere?

1: First up was a metal mule screen (at 6'1" the stock's too short), closely followed by…

2: PD Chain oiler and accessory socket

3: Sidestand extender

4: bracket to mount zumo over the clocks so I can see it when I fit the…

5: …tank bag

6: Side cases

7: Bark Busters


But now it's -10 outside I kind of wish the first thing I'd fitted was heated grips :unsure:
