    I was in touch with a mate a few days ago and kind of approached the subject of taking a week off from the rat race and doing a bit of touring around the emerald isle to visit a few mates and generally have a good old time. Needless to say he took me up on the offer {what more could you ask for good roads, friendly locals, and proper guinness not to mention some of the grub}. I was kind of thinking about the trip today and It suddenly dawned on me that I’m absolutely useless at figuring out what I need to take with me {don’t get me wrong I’ve got it right sometimes and got it biblically wrong on other occasions}. Hence why I’m asking this question to everybody Q} what does everybody on here take with them for about a week minimum. What luggage I intend on using. Tank pack: Kriega Tank with a Kriega US10 {for those need to get quickly items, you know the sort wallet, phone, camera, documents, keys etc} Tail pack: Kriega US20 {main body} with two Kriega US10’s {1x left hand side, 1x right hand side} That brings me to a total of 50 litres of luggage space, hopefully with a bit of careful packing that should be plenty.

    Me again... I’ll try and keep this post to a minimum, me and a mate decided to go for a bit of a run over to thetford forest to go visit a friend who is recovering from a motorbike incident he had a few months back. When we got their we were welcomed in to his humble abode only to find what looked like thousands of photographs of various motorbikes he has owned over the years scattered over the coffee table. Five hours later, all three of us are smack bang in memory lane reminiscing about our past and present bikes. I bet there’s one or two of you on this forum that have found there selves doing the same thing, so if anybody feels like joining in with this post come and share your lists of bike you have owned or still own. I’ll start... 1992 Yamaha V Max 1200 1994 Yamaha V Max 1200 1996 Yamaha TRX 850 1996 Yamaha YZF 600R 1998 Yamaha FZS 600 2001 Yamaha FZS 1000 2003 Yamaha XJR 1300 2005 Yamaha MT 01 2006 Yamaha TDM 900 2006 Yamaha YZF R6 2007 Yamaha FZ 1 2008 Yamaha YZF R1 As you can see I have had a few bikes over the years... I look forward to seeing what everybody chips in with.
