    Rear Rack options for a Vetter Top Case?

    Here's a link to Jim's quick video, unable to embed it in this message. https://s64.photobucket.com/user/kamloopsal/media/Misc%20stuff/Video.mp4.html?sort=3&o=0 I don't hear a beep, sounds like the starter disengaging? Al.

    A Cornwall UK Get-Away (4 days with NO RAIN!)

    Really is a small world! My sister lived at Praa Sands before moving to Camborne. I was on the same beach last September with my brother. We went for a morning swim and breakfast at the beach. Water was so cold I could sing soprano, the 'lads' never did come down - my story and I'm sticking...

    Why do you ride?

    First. Thanks for posting the video. I know it's just an ad for a bank, but I did get a bit teary. When I was renewing my insurance, earlier this year, the clerk asked 'How long have you been a motorcycle rider?'. I replied 'Fifty two years'. She said 'Without a break?'. I replied 'No, I have...

    Things that make you slap your forehead and say "Doh!"

    +1 I've never forgiven myself for cursing the glove box not opening, shortly after buying the bike. I proceeded to gently pry it open, wrecking the lock, before realizing it was electrically operated! Come on, I can see some of you nodding, muttering 'been there - done that'. Al.

    Saddle bags

    Hi Michalis, don't want to hijack this thread but FYI: Did a slow-speed drop when I hit some gravel in a corner. The bag and the sliders protected my leg, biggest problem was finding somebody to help me pick the bike up! Actually, it's become a real conversation piece - I might just leave it.

    Saddle bags

    Thanks for the words and pics Fred - big help for me (and, I hope, the OP - to keep on track )

    Saddle bags

    Are you talking about the lids? I'm told you can separate the inner from the outer by drilling out the hinge rivets. I'll find out this winter: Good time to get rid of those ugly red reflectors too. Al.
