Default Re: Camping trips for 2 people on a bike - how do you lot get all the kit for the both of you on it?

I was thinking of getting that done, wouldn't mind getting some a bit smaller while im at it, so dont look as numb. Mind you cash tight at mo, so will prob just get them moved first and replaced laters.

I can get a 2 man tent inside the bag


1. In addition to the small panniers that it had with it.
2. On good advice from old hands......

There must be some pics floating about of my bike, have a look at that. If you want smaller indis they are less than tenner from vehicle wiring products. I am making big order from there soon so can get an extra set if you want some and save on shipping

'Tis a bit I guess. £280 I paid for the sprints set up.

You can do a top box for a hundred quid less but the scaffolding is a bit bulkier if you want to use 50 litres of storage
