Yeah I reckon. Combine that with some of the ride we did up that way 2 or 3 weeks ago.

Seeing as summer is just around the corner I thought I would get a pack rack. Well three actually, a large rack, a 'sports' rack, and a handhold. I ordered it on Tuesday and it arrived first thing this morning. I picked it up at lunchtime and luckily the weather meant I was able to sneak away early to install it.

Apparantly it was supposed to take 30 - 60 mins to install. Yeah right lol.

The Daytona is a very fiddly bike to get at, especially the rear section, and the instructions omitted one very important point, but in the end it's on and looking good. Not as nice as the 'unracked' bike but it will certainly come in handy. I may need to get a pack now

Awesome. I got the same racks. Especially the handhold as the poor old passenger needs something to hold of to. Makes it easy for those long weekends.

Well it looks like no one is interested in joining me on a ride up through to the bay,nevermind. It's a pity though coz it's a pearler of a day over here. If anyone has a change of heart I will be leaving Dannevirke BP at 10ish o'clock, come have some fun

**cowboyz** · 1st September 2007, 08:48
