Comfy tourer?

Do for now bud! Personally I'm well aware of the Trophy "leaks"- me bike gets parked at work in a plant nursery where they run irrigation...

Hang on - I'm still adding to the list! (for my own reckoning)
Takes a while for the synapses to line up on a Sunday.

Of the ones I've used.

Kawasaki Connie 1400. - Excellent.
Sprint ST - Good - a bit small.
Tiger - let in a few drops and has to allow for exhausts - really like the system though. The latch wouldn't break when closing it like the first batch of Buell's did. (Mine were replaced under warranty - and I'm assured they were upgraded - but I'm still slightly nervous they are going to schnap again every time I do them up. It's just a bad mechanism design - which is cruelly ironic on a Buell.)
Goldwing - Excellent
Victory Vision - leaked in one pocket during a cyclone. There's nothing wrong with the luggage - except that it 'looks' like it should hold more than it does.
ST1300 - Good system. Let in a few drops.
All Harley Baggers - Excellent - they open from the top and have good security (on some).
Guzzi Stelvio - Excellent ADV bags. The ugly sister in an ugly stuff to put on a bike anyway family. Utility compensates.
V-strom - good - though limited capacity.
Trophy 1200 - fair - leaked a bit too, but the latches held.

Givi stuff is cheaper and better made than the std Buell cases.

How's that?

+1 on the Connie luggage and Givi stuff. Never had an issue with water getting in. There was that time that my drink bottle exploded inside my topbox though...the water couldn't get out...

I'd take hard luggage over soft or packs etc any day. Money well spent.

So any updates marty? What have you bought or ridden?

Not yet me old mate, I'm on ( looking after the wife pre and post-op and moving house) duty at the moment but rest assured my eye is firmly glued to trade me and the like. When the right one comes up at the right time and the right price, it shall be mine! Thanks for your interest though, I shall shout it loud when my life slows down to mildly hectic and I have a mile muncher in the Garage. Cheers
