Biker Baggage?

[pete376403]

yep, he went down south with us one year. Sorry but I remember the bike better than the rider. One of his friends came along on a Suzi big single (?), traded it in at ChCh on a GS1100G. That would be the "other" Pete from U/H I think.
How well do you know Frank? We usually stop at RVR bar on Thursday night for a snort, about 4:30 ~5:00ish.
Fecking small world, eh? Three degrees of seperation, etc.

For going to uni, I just bungy my backpack to the pillion seat on the Zeal. Just use a 2m or so length of bungy with loops in the ends, there are hook things welded on to the frame under the seat that I can attach the bungy to. It hasn't fallen off yet.
I don't really like the idea of having big, heavy, hard textbooks and stuff strapped to my back in case they do me an injury when I fall off.

Zed, if I am not going far, I take it on my back in a bag. If its a long route, maybe over 2 hours, there is generally a car going with people I know going too, so send the stuff with them. Normal commuting, if it I cant carry it, it dont go with.

Most bikes have enuf space under the seat for a ladies handbag Joni so you should be alright

I have Givi's.

Put your stuff in the cases, walk out to the bike and click, bikes loaded.

Locked on the bike your gear is safe while you go walk abouts.

At a rally, your gears safe on your bike and it doesn,t have to go in your tent,
where go kick it around all night.

Down side is the price. It's only money and it can save you loseing some other gear.

And you'll have it for along time. As you can pass it on to your next bike.

Used it all through the years.....pack racks, soft panniers, tankbags etc...
Since I bought the 1400 I fitted a Givi top box.
Wouldn't use anything else now. Brilliant.

I use 2 Givi 36 litre panniers on a Wingrack system, don't even know they're there.
And a dead sheep on the seat too.

I was thinking about carrying a dead sheep too, thought it might improve my sex life

I haven't noticed any improvement there, try using a different cologne.

If I can't carry it I courier it ahead or get a freind to take it, but I want some soft panniers (easy removal a pus in my book). In my experience if you cant take it home on the bike it just adds to the clutter anyway. Thats how the dvd/vcr/playstation/stereo came home and I used to know a nutter who brought me a fridge on one. Besides if its that big and its new they will deliver at no charge.... if not someone else will.

a pus in my book

You should get that checked out
