Now if you want to do some real adventuring..........................(instead of riding a (pseudo) Adv style bike, around the tarmac streets of Europe

)
Then here's a bike that has done it all and has nothing to prove (currently in the USA and ridden up from Mexico, the week before - after flying in to ride it home)
Please note carefully..................
The OEM BMW Plastic Airhead panniers (no fecking heavy alloy panniers here)
The 1970's remnant fibreglass Kangol style topbox (no heavy alloy topbox needed)
The Tesco's 'bag for life' on back seat, held on by a £3 cargo net, they would never even make it into a TT fecking catalogue
Everything else is generally exactly what the bike came with in 1991 from BMW (the owner doesn't need to discuss endlessly whether she should fit a Mudsling or not

)
This bike has been around the world, many times and has no unecessary shite bolted to it
And the last pic......................shows the lovely lady owner, enjoying the 'bridges of Madison County' this week
Sometimes, we should just a get a fecking grip and just ride the bikes and use them for the purpose intended, without weighing them down without all manner of unnecessary and complete shite
