I had to pull quite hard on the strings to get it to stay up, and it was bouncing around a bit. Our neighbour came to inspect it, she even had a feel, and thought it was quite impressive:p

I bought my new one today, its not as spacious as the other one I have, but its sooo light, and I can stand up in it. Had to downsize for this years AR. Pitched it in my parents back garden, and instantly had my son bouncing around in it!
So just 2 weekends of work, and its here, but a whole load of polishing to do in that time....the Raptor is out of mothballs, and is getting MOT'd next week....just gotta work my magic to shine it up a bit..and weeeeeeeeeeee bwwwwwooooaaaargh!!!!
Reminder to all pack those earplugs cause the noisy Vtwin circus is coming to town..hehehe

right well having most of my stuff transported for me has allowed me to go about packing differently this time, perhaps a small bag/tank bag is all I'll need on the bike :D.
This is the non-bike baggage.
