Hey guys,great video.Bard those panniers look mighty wide,no fun in Bkk traffic.

Where did you ride in the north from CM?

My appetite is unsated,now waiting for #2 video.

Keep the greasy side down and keep safe.

Its not just the width also.. When you bung a lot of weight on the back it fecks with the distribution and balance too..

When we did the Iron Butt I was planning to be away a few weeks not the few days and loaded up with stuff. That was the first time I had ridden that bike with any luggage on it and when we met up and the lads were all traveling light, I realized then how unsettled it felt loading up the rear end, my GF as a pillion probably weighs less than I had in luggage (no exfoliating cream tho Trent..Sorry bring your own !!). Hearing how Bard was trying to get a knee down, plus perhaps loading all that great touring space up, well it probably handled far differently than normal.

Part III

Highway 105 north to Highway 108.

Actually the 46 litre GIVI top box i was using was extremely stable and didnt bother me one bit hammering into corners nor at speeds over 200km/hr

i can highly recommend the V series top boxes and racks from GIVI, stable and quite attractive

Aye, your box was stable no doubt but it was the actual welds on Tony's box that seemed to cause the problem I reckon

Yeah its not so much the stability but the extra weight on the rear end..

Tho I am guessing a FZ holds up better than a decade old GSF4

Ohh have thread here also, OK here we go again, my Vid clip from the SSR Epic trip. AWESOME trip that was.

Cheers Bard
