    Hi All,

    Have been lurking on the forums for a week or so; reading up on luggage options for my RR10.
    So I thought I should register :)

    I commute all weather into central London from Orpington, take the odd track day when I can and try to have a long weekend blast to the continent when time/money permits.

    This August I'm off to do a tour of Mont Blanc in the alps, same trip we did a few years ago as it was so good.
    Three countries and four passes in one day; pizza in Italy for lunch :D

    Anyway thanks for the informative posts I've been reading so far.

    Cheers

    Welcome spooney. There are few working or living in London. I commute in to the central area once or twice a week. We had a winter warmer meet up early in the year for a few beers and chinky, I am supposed to be arranging a summer supper but haven't got around to it yet. Your welcome to come along if and when I sort it out.

    yeah, i may just stick with seat straps on a Kriega US-20 + US-10 and if thats not enough then use the R25 (but would prefer not, will be too hot on a long trip)

    I'm 5mins away from Borough Market but would have to get special permission from she-who-must-be-obeyed to get out of picking up ze lickle bratt from Nursery ;)

    Welcome aboard, shipmate.

    You sure you cannot get at subframe for frame fixing?

    You're already a Krieganaut so don't entertain other ideas. If I'm carrying my Almax and bike cover I go with a us20 behind with the chain and cover in the 20. I use the us30 as a tankbag.


    A Venturafarian will be along soon with a post that should remedy insomnia.


    :)
