Do these things fit any bike? Quote
eastanglianbiker Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 yep they clip together or connect with velcro you throw them over the pillion seat put the rest of your luggage on top of them and just strap it all down or if carrying a pillion they can sit on the straps Quote
Stu Posted June 12, 2016 Author Posted June 12, 2016 one or two of the straps go under the pillion seat and one or two goes over the seat solid as a rock they are if fitted right Quote
JamBerryKing Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 You'll end up looking like us. Felt super light at the front with all that luggage though. Lost a sleeping back on the way back from this years into the valley Quote
Tiggie Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 I'm coming now managed to swap a shift so all is good. Very happy, still annoyed I missed last years Will be coming by car so I have the luxury of having room for an airbed in my tent this year Quote
Tiggie Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 And my costume now bought from eBay p.s. to anyone who hasn't been before, Fancy Dress on the Saturday night isn't mandatory but you will be booed, frowned upon and most likely have your bike kill switched if you don't take part p.p.s. unless you're bigger than me Quote
Westbeef Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Mine has no kill switch so I'm ok! Although I'm going in fancy dress Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Tiggie Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 I really better get my tent out of the garage and practise putting it up so I don't look like a prat trying to do it same as every other year! Quote

That was the reason I got my tent up in the garden. Trouble is, it pissed it down straight after that photo and it's still sat in the garden now!Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote
rennie Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 That's why we're going early! So we can sit outside the caravan, with beerand laugh at everyone trying to put tents up! Quote

Westbeef Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 I'll have a go at sticking mine up when it arrives! That way I might save myself some embarrassment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
