Epic Earl Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I've got a weekend road trip coming up. Now as it stands I don't have any panniers or a tail bag. Wondering if I can get away with what I've got. The bike has a luggage rack fitted. Could I get away with fastening a holdall to it? Or is this liable to flab all over whilst riding?

Epic Earl Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Yeah I suppose. Might have to give it a test run. Managed with a ruck sack fastened before but it was a tight fit for all my gear. The hold all is quite large maybe a little large for what I need but will see if I've got enough bungee cords to hold it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epic Earl Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 If i decide to get some panniers, any one know of any good sites to go to?Or is old ebay and Amazon about the best bet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arwen Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 If it is just a one off trip then just strap down a hold all, rucksack or one of these dry bag things to the pillion seat and/or the luggage rack.I found by running the straps under the seat I could get everything secured. If this is something you want to do more of, then invest in some pannier and/or a top box. Ebay and gumtree are full of them. Also some decent deals on amazon.

Epic Earl Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 its becoming a yearly occourance. So thinking I need to get prepared.Cheaper if I use a hold all, smarter if I get panniers might have to keep an eye out, see if I can land on a bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
