I just did 450 miles with fully loaded panniers and had no problems with the handling (on the other hand, I had a pillion and a topbox) then just did one of my fastest mornings commutes ever when we both overslept and i had to give the redhead a lift to work.

I definatly need to invest in some when I can afford it. My journey with all my stuff stuffed anywhere it would fit and a large backpack really wasnt comfortable.

I like my Oxford ones... Some sort of Lifetime, think they're Sports not Humpback. But they're a bit hairy with my high level pipe, so I hardly use them. I think they're just a bit big when fully expanded, mind... I end up using a tailpack instead, but I prefer panniers.

I've got oxford sports panniers too.
The waterproof covers flap about quite a bit - although only at naughty speeds, I've heard. My zips gave up the ghost not long after I'd bought them but there is a lifetime warrantee on them so it's only my laziness to blame here. As for fuel economy. Driving back from Le Mans with panniers I rode a grand total of 75 miles before the fuel light popped on recently. Quite a shock as I was some way from a fuel station. I don't think that's 100% normal, though. ![]() JG |
