Default New bike in the shed

Traded my No 2 bike ( not the Hurricane ) The BMW R1100RT .
Replaced with a 2010 R1200RT SE with all the bells and whistles .
What a magnificent machine .
I'll try to get a pic up

Splendid. A mile eater in your country.
I looked at those but ended up with an FJR 2014. Great bit of kit.

Default R1200rt

Yep genuine panniers , but I stole the cheap top box off the CBR1000F. It doesn’t look too out of place . Bloody genuine top box is about $1000 here .
I prefer to use the top box for my normal day trips . The panniers are usually only for longer trips like the one coming up next week .
I'd leave them on all the time , but the extra width is a bit of a hassle squeezing between the cars in the shed .

I had full luggage on my old F800 ST, filtering could be a challenge.
