    Shit man......
    How many months are you going away for ?

    Here's our lot for a 2 week+ trip across Ausi last year, 2 up



    Included camping gear including mats and sleeping bags for 2 people, plus cooking gear, only carried about 3 or 4 days worth of food though. The red bag on the top was empty, just needed to stick it somewhere

    Saddle bags = wet weather gear
    Back pocket = wallet for motels, food and anything else
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !
