Hi All, Well the bike's been on the road for about a month now and all is good (I am getting funny looks from other motorists when I ride though due to me grinning like an idiot!). Only problem I've got is what to do with my kit when I park up - which is where I need some suggestions. Really I need something that will hold my crash helmet (BMW System 4 Flip Front) and jacket when I'm off the bike. I'm not too sure on getting a top box from an aesthetic point of view so was thinking along the lines of hard panniers - if they'll take the helmet. I've looked online and at dealers but they don't seem to have much of a selection so I'm not really sure what to go for. On a side note I realise that panniers/top box aren't that secure however I feel the risk of loosing my kit to theft is probably lower than doing it damage (helmet in particular) by carrying it around with me - besides I could always buy an Alsatian and chain him to the bike :-) Many Thanks Dan Ricketts
