Thanks to the guy on the Rallye

If you are a member here a big thanks to the gent on the R1200GS Rallye with just one pannier fitted for asking if I was ok whilst I was stuck in the traffic yesterday on the A14, I was fine but the bike was just too wide to filter with the panniers expanded I was only stuck for about 20 mins until a few gaps opened.

Cheers

A14 and the roads around were totally bolloxed yesterday evening by a couple of accidents - I took the backroads from Bar Hill to St.Ives but was still slow going with both panniers, made it difficult to filter.

That's what I did as soon as a gap opened got off the A14 and headed north away from the madness.

Panniers = evil

Panniers = evil

Makes filtering hard when the Varios are fully extended, especially on the narrowed lanes of the A14 roadworks - used the Thruxton R today, much easier to thread through the stationary traffic

If your bars go through the panniers will follow

Just rode back from 10 days in the Alps the "wardrobes" make carrying my clothes, camping gear etc a lot easier than 2 Tesco bags on the end of the handlebars.

I have the full aluminium OEM luggage on my GSA and at times it was tricky filtering on the M6/M5 southbound today.

That was the gear I was talking about........... they fill panniers for fun.

I recommend the Metal Mule set up if you need to carry stuff.

Narrow and great for filtering.
