on visordown the sports bike riders were saying buy a universel topbox and bolt/screw it through a spare pillion seat. the boxs are about 20 quid :)

Re: Luggage options for nurbergring 2008
 

i just took a oxford tail pack

Re: Luggage options for nurbergring 2008
 

lol, doesnt sound safe lol,

was that more than enough space or were you back-packed as well ???
what did you take in terms of tools?

Re: Luggage options for nurbergring 2008
 

When you going. If it's summer then a good supply of t-shirts and some EDZ type summer undersuit items should sort you out, soft shoes and jeans for the evening. Don't forget the V-spong for you pitstops!

I took a tailpack with a tank bag and had enough room, I didn't even expand the tank bag to full. I went for 4 days.

Re: Luggage options for nurbergring 2008
 

no rucksack or owt else

just the honda tool kit
waterproofs
few t shirt, shorts
1 pair jeans
boxers and socks
washing kit & towel
pair of canvas converse (flip-flops would do)
camera

i think thats all? cant remember if i took a sleeping bag?

eh?

Re: Luggage options for nurbergring 2008
 

i was thinking about taking my full digi SLR setup... would you say thats a bad idea? i mean do you get time for that stuff?? lol,

V-spong?

Re: Luggage options for nurbergring 2008
 

depends how good your camera is? mine is ok at still pictures,it was ?25 off ebat (kodak dx3600) but i only took about 10, a few of the peeps with good cameras got some good shots on the track, depend also on how much its worth,

Re: Luggage options for nurbergring 2008
 

V-spong - the spongy thing in a plastic bag that keeps it wet which cleans your visor of all the bits you'll gather on the road and on the Ring, if you know what I mean. Great for when you are filling up or buying more Ring tickets.

Re: Luggage options for nurbergring 2008
 

the lens is worth more than the camera and the camera isnt that cheap lol, i think i will stick with my trusty 5mp camera phone im not going to have anywhere that safe to leave it all lol,

was their a photographer there?
are you coming this year mate?

Re: Luggage options for nurbergring 2008
 

ah i see lol,

Re: Luggage options for nurbergring 2008
 

It's a well known fact that Visordown posters have no taste, class or common sense. A tailpack is far more versatile and cheaper.

Re: Luggage options for nurbergring 2008
 

Small pack of baby wipes. Half the cost, just as effective and double up as bog roll if the public loos are out of paper.

Re: Luggage options for nurbergring 2008
 

Yeah, took a tail pack with a small waist bag for those quick to reach essentials like passport, money and camera.

Re: Luggage options for nurbergring 2008
 

im a big fat fibber, i also took a tankbag, the little 3 quid lidl one just for
essentials instead of a bumbag

Re: Luggage options for nurbergring 2008
 

Don't they smear? V-spong you can re-use, plus you don't have that baby smell on the ride :p

Re: Luggage options for nurbergring 2008
 

Never noticed smearing - Pampers ones work best, and I quite like the baby smell, it reminds me of when my kids couldn't and didn't answer back.

Re: Luggage options for nurbergring 2008
 

Took a tailpack (un extended) and medium tankbag last time, including jeans, shoes, camcorder, waterproofs, possibly a fleece, t-shirts, boxers, socks, spare thermal, euros for beer at the biker's loft, maps etc..

Re: Luggage options for nurbergring 2008
 

I took a tank bag and a mini oxford tail pack last year, although I might just take panniers this year. I don't like doing tank bags over long distances though you should be able to get away with a decent size tailpack and maybe a rucksack.

Re: Luggage options for nurbergring 2008
 

i took a tank bag but fixed it to the back seat + a small ruc but to fair i stayed down in kent for a week after so could possibly get away with just a ruc sack. there is always some one not out on track to watch over things so it's fine to bring the camera but it's up to you.

Re: Luggage options for nurbergring 2008
 

Are you going this year?
