Southampton is a **** hole like any other largish city. Not as bad as pompy, but still a **** hole. It's just a matter of time before they get nicked. I'd use one of those tail packs/tank bags which double up as a rucksack. Then you just zip them off and leave the cheap pointless hardly noticable lower panel on and wack the rest on your back. As for the airhawk, for the sake of one journey a week, just live with a slightly sorer bumhole. I wouldn't take it.

Ok cheers all for responses, i think for the sake of 2 mins ill be safe not sorry. Not sure which college it is but the bike will be chained to something aslong as theres something to chain it to, along with 2 disc locks.

Couldn't he have just used a padded one instead of dismantling a bra ?

Have you not thought about getting a top box ? No worries about taking it off the bike, plus you could store the airhawk in it !

Ive had a top box on a previous bike and they are great but i wouldnt consider getting one on a sports bike. Makes em look stupid! It wasnt too much hassle to take the tail pack off in the end so thats what i do
