had a practice run at loading the biek up and all I can say is it will rival your efforts on the rf on the gizzy ride.

cool - bit of humour aye

the rf made the concours look decidely trim last time

gotta have a crack myself at some point but we know it will be easier than gizzy

Good things take time,allows paint to harden between coats,also when everyone pissed up norf,get em all to sign a piece of paper(tell em you want their autographs),when done write on it we the undersigned agree to paint cowboyz fence in return for quantities of ale(given to the fence owner),and will do so till he sells the property.Get a witness on the night and legal document,cool eh.

Well, got one of the panniers on just to have a looksee, hmm W-I-D-E would be the best way to describe it but then again that would suit me I guess. Full install will have to wait until next weekend.

Did you get E41's. They're good and the combo lock's on the side are handy but be careful they can stuff out. Something happended to my ones - not sure if someone tampered with them or what but the combinations got reset. Never did figure out the "new" combination. Givi stuff is good though - easy to use etc.

Ride safe guys,hope like hell you don't meet any fuckwits on the loop ride.Just read a couple of threads on it,sounds like Forgotten Highway in places re speed and corners,and road surface not to flash.Enjoy the trip,and bring back pics.

Damn straight! Everyone back in one piece, ok! Sounds like it's turning into a real race track up there so keep out the way of those other tossers.

I nearly got taken out by a tanker one foggy morning (GC #1) so there's more than just sharp corners and squids to keep an eye out for.

I know it's still a wee way away but take care!!!

No they are smaller than that, V36. They are a new design from Givi. Must say they look quite smart.
