Seriously though, the leather will stretch and become more supple in time and should get more confortable, as for the boots, prob just need breaking in

Haha - the pants are 2nd hand but are pinching behind my knee real bad...

Yeah, i use Sutton Motorcycles, they are a nice bunch of guys. The big ginger bloke seems a little cold though, but still helpful.

Hehe, big ginger guy, Steve, yeah sometimes a little cold but I think he's more of a 'salesman' than your friendly-advice-biker-type that sometimes work in dealers / shops. He sold me my gixxer and has looked after me well so can't complain.

Honestly mate, no trouble at all for you to borrow the panniers / tail pack - do you want the lot or just one or tother? I can drop them up to you next weekend if you're around?

Wow, MrsLyleJ going too - will she be pillion on the 675 I've read about or she got her own bike?

Cheers,
Matt

I was looking at the Oxford sprint ones atm. They look ok. And alos the Kriega ones but i dont think they fit a helmet in and i would like to be able to do that if possible.

Where abouts in Birmingham are you??? I would hate for you to go out of your way just to drop them off. I could pop round some day soon instead.

Do any of the Brummie lot fancy going for a spin next w/e? Then Binky could collect his luggage Two dead birds, one stone lost Could meet up at Bassetts Pole?

DMC - sounds like a plan

Saturday afternoon (straight after lunch) would be best for me, alternatively Saturday morning or Sunday morning.

Binky, the Oxford sprint panniers / tailpack (and that funky little tankbag) are good. I think you can get a helmet in any of the tankbags or tailpacks they do. I used my tailpack last week to put the Mrs' helmet in and pick her up from work - it is useful to be able to do that rather than have it hanging off your arm or whatever!

I live in the city centre near Five Ways - I'm one of those new-fangled young professional types with a flat by the canal.

Cheers,
Matt
