Packing...

[northwind]

For us, the AR starts in about 11 hours... So I'm packing. And I've already resorted to duck taping things to the outside of my top box :D I'm sure that's not in the manual...

When i get back, I want to see at least one photo of someone packing worse than I am (it's not my fault, honest, it was all going swimmingly till I decided to bring a spare exhaust pipe, it's all downhill from there...)

Hmmmm, think we'd better frisk you before you leave our house tomorrow then if you're carrying spares with you..................there are panels and a swingarm under the bed in our spare room:D

[Drew Carey]

For me the AR starts in about 2 hours. Packed, bike cleaned (dont know why I bothered though as the weather is carp)

Off to Gids today for Weston Bike Night and then to the site tommorrow.

[rictus01]

well my box of bits is off down that way already in Mr toads motor, so the bike will be lightly loaded tomorrow for the ride down and my stuff should be waiting me there :D

Cheers Mark.

[Mr Toad]

Yep, I've got Mark's gear

Well it is going to be an 'exhausting' ride :D.

That's me you should be worried about because Northy has decided that I am too old and frail has given me the bed !!! Are they for a pointy ??:p

See you all soon. :riding::riding:

[Alpinestarhero]

I'm almost packed :D just gotta do lunch for tomorrows stop-off, and find the water-proof / water-tight pack that maria can put her hearing aids in to stop them getting wet...

...but we've been looking for that for 3 days, i think its lost

[Grinch]

I'm still trying to rebuild a brake caliper, bloody thing.

[dizzyblonde]

[Grinch]

I haven't even looked at my tent to see if its even usable... Oh dear.

[metalmonkey]

Well I went home to have dinner with rents, turned late in my usual style...

However I now have my headtorch fixed thanks to my dad, first aid kit, my platypus water on the move! My dark visor and few other bits so I'm good to go!

Northwind has a roof rack on his pillion seat :shock:

[Spikenipple]

And no disc on the l/h side of his front wheel?

Here's my packing fiasco. Hopefully it will all still be there when I arrive tomorrow morning! There are a few hidden bungees there you can't see in this picture.

Have you seen the size of the one he's got though! :shock:

*slowly backs away from the computer*

[northwind]

330mm. That's over 13 inches you know. Also, I have quite a big front disc.

Northwind has a roof rack on his pillion seat :shock:

Good innit? The original one was made out of wood :cool: This one is genuine B&Q.

wots with this top box milarky?? new fashion? or just more room for the delivery service from the takeaway;-)

I love my topbox, it was cheap and I can put my shopping in it. As demonstrated at the AR when it got turned into a beer scooter :cool: Also it's waterproof, quite handy it turns out :smt042

I didn't get the part were you mention that you loaded a spare exhaust? What the hell for?

For 21Quest, cheaper than posting :smt003

That's all because I'm just that ****ing fast and generally brilliant.

No, that's never going to work. It's really because the bike has to work really hard to make up for my shortcomings :thumbsup:
