Like the concept, just can't justify spending that sort of money on a bit of plastic.

Richard at ?75 it's worth considering. Personally, having done 16k on the OE &

having ridden for periods up to 6 hours a day, without suffering from numb bum, I don't see what's wrong with the original (apart from the actual look of it maybe) ?

Save ya money, Get some soft Oxford throw over luggage and spend the rest on taking

the bike abroad. I borrowed some soft luggage last year and went to Spain & Holland. It did the job and my gear remained dry, even after an incredible downpour (known as the Gota Fria) in Spain. So I bought the Oxford stuff at the Ally Pally this year. Got sport panniers and a humpback tailpack for ?130. I know a lot of "s e r i o u s" tourers get the hard stuff, but not my cup of tea.

I allready have the oxford stuff as my viffer was blue as well but for ?175.00 ummmmmmmmmm tempting.


As for the wet that brings back memories of a monsoon on the M25 last year on the way home from Dover.... And it did not leak at all impressed.

Going to do approx 3k this year In France and spain in May


cheers
