Army surplus panniers?

Arse. Sort of behind where they used to be when they were on the Euston
Road. I keep thinking of it as being close to the Logica offices, but they
went a decade ago, I think.

It's pretty close to the underpass end, if you see what I mean.

Dunno that one.

Alison Hopkins says...

It's in an archway on the south side of the gyratory system, behind the
bus station. You access it from a little lane on the west side just past
the bridge on the right. It backs onto the archway units on South
Lambeth Road.

 

Forty fucking pounds! FFS, such things can be picked up for a fiver.

I'll pretend I just didn't waste at least ten seconds of my life looking
at those, you piece of unrequited love muscle.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Alison Hopkins belched forth and ejected the
following:

I still need to look but the underpass end, I know where you mean.

<Does hand flap like it "don't mean nuffing">

It's there somewhere.

 

And not a camel in sight.

Alison Hopkins says...

As if I haven't heard camel/desert references in my life before.

 

Sorry. I always got called Ali Baba. Must be some tenuous race memory or
something. Crap gag, anyhow... <shuffles off for a glass of wine.>

That'll do it but I'm taking the ratbike on the French trip and the back
of it looks like this:

Or this once I've sat on it:

So I'm after some canvas jobbies that go over the seat and you sit-on
the-wide-strap type.

At a push I could get myself a couple of kit-bags and bungee them on but
this isn't ideal, as you may imagine.

A tank bag isn't really an option and I don't particularly want to take
my XT.

 

From that photo it seems you already have your luggage issues sorted...

Meaning what exactly?

The wind was blowing up my shirt!

 

The lorry, YTC

following:

Bad form but heh, I'm letting the expanding belly syndrome wind me up.

Of course, I could do a BGN and break down when I get there but that
would spoil the enjoyment of bringing a load of stuff back.

I might just bung a couple of courier bags on it.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, wessie belched forth and ejected the following:

Yeah, I wonder if I could hire a nice curtain-sider to take my bike to
Dieppe and then bring a fuckload of fags, booze and purfume back.
Somehow I think I'd need a bigger shed.

 

Whinging Courier coughed up:

Eww, someone pass the mind bleach

Akkshirley, I have a large-ish Hein Gericke tankbag going spare, if you
need it.

I may well take you up on it.

I wanted to avoid tankbags but the reality is I may have to succumb.

 

Whinging Courier coughed up:

It's yours if you cba to come and get it.

It cost quite a bit, but came with a free Kawasaki Zephyr
