I saw these the other day and thought of Lotsa suffering from withdrawal symptoms of not being able to get a fix of his Yuppee coffee on the corner ride and thought this might be the go for him. :laugh: :laugh:
TB will be carrying Bundys and Lotsa Cafe Latte

A carton of those will fit nicely into the spare 10lt of extra space in the pannierz
This is Mrs.J’s handy work at converting sports bike soft panniers into dirt bike soft panniers

http://i921.photobucket.com/albums/ad53/nickj211/036063dd.jpg?t=1281689272I am adding a rear rack Boony , for tent and sleeping bag , I think I will still be well balanced with my weight fairly low.
The whipps one looks the business !!Nick
Add the whipps rack and a comfy back pack and you will be set,, those bags look the goods. Take it for a good ride and get back to us

Looks good Nick.. I would take them for a good flogging to make sure they hold up well…
Does your misses want to make a set for me?

I will be giving them a good test run asap, they are very secure but the hardest part is keeping the straps etc away from the exhaust :dry:
I don’t think the missus would be too keen to adapt another set it gave her a bit of grief! :laugh:

If you wanted you could stop for coffee and meet up with some of the tamworth boys? Just an idea to break up the trip. Hopefully Bol Boony or I could see you off or help out with any niggles that could develop.Hi Aaron
that’s the route I am taking to Orange and it would be really good to catch up in tamworth, I will get in touch nearer the time,Thanks for the offer

Hi Nick,
You will have to make sure they are really, really secure. When Lotsa & I went for a ride last weekend to meet up with Krusty, TB & Kat one of the straps on a pannier I had on the bike (not the bags I am taking to the corner – ordered Andy Strapz) tore the stitching away and spread the contents for 20km down the track and then the bag came off and I didn’t even know till I pulled up. :angry: It was quite a rough section of track though with the bags bouncing around.
Next time they will have extra security straps around them.Wheres the photos of the new tent and gear. How thick does the matress expand.

57 days
I bought a new 2 man tent for the trip the other day from Kangaroo tent city at the bargain price of $35 (hope it doesn’t rain)
Packs down to about 600mm long and weighs 2.7kg
Put it up in the back yard today
Should keep the mozzies out at least
