They are not bags, they are wardrobes

 

Hi TBT - here are some pics of a set of Nonfangos on a Hurricane - I have an identical set, and a set of Givis on a Blackbird, Both very well made, sturdy and long lasting.....

 

Hi,

thanks for the warm welcome - i realised this is the place to post for help with questions or problems - I've been browsing around here for a couple of weeks now and already had downloaded both the service manuals listed.

I'm not sure on the make of the panniers (will be able to tell you for sure later this week) but i think they are Givi's.

One things for sure, It'll be nice not having to strap a large bag with change of clothes, heavy 17" laptop etc onto the back of the bike (using the ever trust-worthy spider bungee) every day for the journey to and from work [&:]

You're right that this was a bike listed on Ebay - one of the most amusing listings i've read for a while - and the seller was actually genuinely a very nice guy - even let my wife and 2 young boys trash his house while i took her out for a spin!

I've always facied building a sidecar in the shape of a red london double decker bus which the kids could ride in with their own horn and bell etc

Do any of you guys go to the UK HOC events? or have a local group you regularly meet up with for a blap (technical term for a pleasant jaunt on the motorcycle with friends)

 

Flogger might, but it's a bit far for Coopz, Roger , Blue1000F or me on a Sunday morning......
Thanks for the offer of a blap..though.

There are two rules for riding in snow and ice, but nobody knows what they are.......

 

I've just joined the HOC (in the last week) so not been to any events yet. Their forum is okay but not as good as here. I'm in Essex (at the moment) so not too far for a meet.

Shadow, if you leave now you could be with us by Sunday.

 

Those panniers are an old model of Krauser, not available anymore, I've got the same bags for my 'Cane. But, WITHOUT the "Polka-Dot" look[:'(], sorry man, and no topbox.

 

I seen this listed on ebay and was tempted to bid.. looks like ill get another chance ??

I wonder why it's back for sale.... I think there are better CBRs out there on E Bay (UK). The advert script put me off...

 

That bike's been on e-Bay UK three times in the last 6 months - I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it, but, as Flogger (Hi Phil) says, it's been described as a really good bike, and may be, but the panniers are REALLY dated. Something doesn't smell right somehow.......
