camping equip - where on bike?

[Steptoe]

This was taken last Sunday in Shetland, our final ride on the way back to the ferry from Simmer Dim Rally

Feck me you've even managed to load a green dustbin and a triumph on the bike. Well done that man.

i don't think i'd be happy with the weight high up there at the back

Can you tell me more about the bottle racks you have mounted on the back of your L/R panniers... they look great & I want some

Yes. these are the Touratech items.

The double bottle rack is for the petrol for the stove and a thermos flask. The other side contains the Touratech 2 litre container that I use for oil - just in case.

Think carefully which side you want the plastic container as some exhaust cans may direct the hot gases to the container and melt it. BMW/Akro exhaust can is fine.

The panniers are Jesse and are the narrowest available for the 1200 but hold 108 litres. These panniers have now done >60,000 miles on four bikes.

Two litre canister 070-0520
Holder for two litre canister 070-0522
Bottle container, two bottles 070-0525
Arno straps for above 055-0031 (length of 750mm)

We did four weeks that trip taking in Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro and a quick foray into Albania. Ferry from Bar in Montenegro to Ancona in Italy then to Amsterdam (ferry) via Switzerland and Germany.

Bloody marvellous - that's what it's all about.

what's with everyone taking folding chairs? ...it's camping...sit on the floor, a rock, a tree stump...not take a folding deck chair with you

Go to a couple of rallys as a day visitor and see how others do it and ask questions and you'll soon be like Charlie and Ewan! no probs as we all do it.

Den Ask Tim Cullis to ask BMW if that would invalidate a warranty claim for a battery!!

Don't forget to spread it around



But leave the important eating area clear
