I did indeed and they hold 24L each and I like they way the handle pops up.
And is used as a lever for the clamping bar.
Very cool, I'll have to keep an eye out for you ;D.
So id you see a strange person wave to you on that blue bike you will now know who it is.:bye::lol:

I have been on the last 3-4 Street and Sport Rides and you were on one of those rides.
And have said Hi to you a few times in the shop.

SDU still has one and I can still ride the old MKIII, so far from not having any tractors in the shed.

Longer trips are in, over nighters are harder with-out dog sitters and with SDU's job.
We DO plan on a few Rallies this year.:scooter:

Hi Lemans
You aren't the blond headed guy with the beard are you. I'm in and out of Street N Sport on a regular basis and say gidday to many people so bit hard to pin you down?. I have a 07 Blue and Red Sprint so double the pleasure double the fun getting to choose between two sprints instead of one. Your Blue Sprint is a damn nice colour as is the new Red Sprint.

Ahh, Lemans, the smell and dazzle of new bikes, it sure makes ya heart beat faster don't it! :love:
Bloody nice looking bikes too, I guess you guys are out riding them in the snow this week end. :shifty:
See you at Danseys Pass camp in December. (if not before) :ride: Cheers John.

Yes it's nice to have a new bike, but the down side is running it in.
I was hoping to run it in this weekend.
I may have to ride in the snow and rain to finish the last k's so the bike can get it's first service this week.
Got rained off doing more k's and got warned about the snow.:crybaby:
