Title: Monster Touring Post by: DosVerde on October 10, 2008, 08:59:13 PM This is the S4R fully loaded with all my camping gear ready to go down to the island. It handled alot better than expected, getting the leg over was the hard part.
I got the panniers 2nd hand from a mate, and didn't quite site right. The left one has the corner ground down from tyre rub. He also loaned me the BMW bag. That bag was brilliant. Kept my tent sleeping bag and pillow nice and dry.

You even have the folded seat stowed. Rob Title: Re: Monster Touring Post by: mattyvas on October 10, 2008, 10:08:52 PM That's a cracker, I bet you were good at shapes growing up.

I dont see the kitchen sink ??? Title: Re: Monster Touring Post by: Betty on October 11, 2008, 02:33:28 AM I dont see the kitchen sink ??? That's because it is in the BMW bag, it would just look wrong sitting on the back for everyone to see.

Title: Re: Monster Touring Post by: Spider on October 11, 2008, 08:29:52 AM apparently he's wife let him come back INSIDE the house...so he's unpacked EVERY possession he owns!
When we go on our trip, he'll back that and I'll have: one pair of boxers, one toothbrush.

Thats for a one day trip right.you may need to pack one of these for extended stays [thumbsup] (http://www.bb-shopping.com/prod_images/image_cat36/2600_image1_giant-peg-1.gif) Title: Re: Monster Touring Post by: Spider on October 11, 2008, 12:58:58 PM exactly brother, wool (icebreaker) boxers dry overnight! that and a map, a gold credit card and an iPod full of tunes and I'm set.
obviously Brendan doesn't subscribe to this way of packing! Title: Re: Monster Touring Post by: DosVerde on October 11, 2008, 09:17:18 PM OK, I admit I could've packed a bit lighter, but I was down there for 3 comfortable days, plus there was 5 litres of red stashed in there (in the sink).
The only other problem I had was getting hooked up on a stationary tray truck while filtering out of the track - a bit embarassing. Title: Re: Monster Touring Post by: DUCMONROB on October 12, 2008, 12:15:13 AM Did you think about posting the gear down to Cowes Post Office?
Saves you lugging it all the way! Rob Title: Re: Monster Touring Post by: Spider on October 12, 2008, 12:19:25 AM Did you think about posting the gear down to Cowes Post Office? Saves you lugging it all the way! Rob apparently, Aussie post took one look at the sink, dishwasher, chair, dining table and the mattress and said it was an 'industrial' sized job ;D but Dos, the motoGP, the big question is.....any good clouds over the weekend? :D Title: Re: Monster Touring Post by: techno on October 12, 2008, 03:21:21 PM Well planned exhaust choice [thumbsup] I agree. The high mount shotguns make panniers out of the question. I can see this thread growing as some of us load up for Turismo. Who says you can't tour on a monster? |
