    Do not miss using a pack at all. Hard luggage is the way to go.

    For Sale: 1 pack, only been down the road once (wasn't hanging on)...
    Yes I bet... a pack will do me fine for a while, untill I am allowed to get a ST4 with hard luggage....

    Will be buying a new Ventura pack very soon, the one with the extension that Zips onto the other side so the rack is in the middle.. If you know what I mean lol

    Normally hard packed & smooth however a couple of weeks ago it was remetalled & not compacted well resulting in a motorcycle having an oops. Hope it is done before saturday.

    Na it was easy to ride on, very well packed, just that my tyres were hot and it was picking the stones up and throwing them right at the radiator happens at roadworks as well. Bit of a problem when you got a big radiator right behind the fron wheel
