Glad you are happy with them Ryan.

I am old enough now to not worry about what my bike looks like and have put a load of givi luggage on. The Oxford stuff is brilliant - it just wasn't for me.

I want to tour France next year so the Givi will hopefully serve me well!

It's a bargain alright. :cool:

The Oxford luggage is tough as old boots. It was only the rain covers I didn't like.

I have tried the oxford stuff and it is garbage. You need a million bungee cords to hold it in place.

Funny that, I've toured all over the place over the last 30 years with nothing but Oxford soft luggage and certainly wouldn't call it garbage. It just needs bungeeing on properly once then left in place. You put your stuff in cut down rubble sacks inside and remove the sacks and put in tent or hotel room when you want to leave the bike unattended anywhere for any length of time.

I've got hard luggage now and to be honest, as good as it is when in use I find it a pain in the butt to store when I'm not using it.

Yeah Lozzo, I agree. Garbage is unfair as I just couldn't get on with the Bungees. It is nightmare to store the Givi stuff when not on the bike as well.

Ventura stuff seems to have a good reputation aswell but it's expensive.
