    She's coming over separately on the boat [1] so that's not too much of
    an issue. She's also got a licence but no bike. I'm not brave enough
    to contemplate the latter.

    [1] Although I hadn't considered flying so I'll look into that.

    You don't have to use panniers to carry a weeks worth of luggage,
    I'll just use my tankbag, tailpack and a rucksack if my panniers don't
    sit right.

    I'm only going to the IoM so it's a case of a quick blast to
    Liverpool and then we're there. I'm sure there's a washing machine
    where we're stopping so I might get away with just the tailpack this
    trip.

    If I make it, I'll probably have to fly in.

    Riding uninsured on the back of mine plus half a lap with an
    enthusiatic Champ was a better option. What a top holiday that was so
    make sure you're there in '06 to ensure it goes as equally well.
    As well you might.

    I wouldn't even suspect it of anyone else but have you actually checked
    to see if the subframes etc can be swapped?!!

    Apparently, Marino wool is the new artificial fibre for base and mid
    layers, not only wicking better than polyester et al. but being
    naturally resistent to bacteria build-up such that an undershirt can
    be worn for a whole week without washing (or smelling).

    Actually, the rep[1] claimed to have used a marino shirt for a whole
    season without washing it, which might be exaggerating. Or not. As
    remains to be seen. I'll be buying some asap so we'll see how well it
    works at xmas.

    [1] Of Shoeffel as well as www.icebreaker.com who was explaining the
    features of our new Ski Club jackets and fleece, which is made of the
    above.

    They can't directly, but I can have a new one made if I was that
    desperate to own one like that.

    While you're at it, can you think of a way to get 22 days' stuff for
    two people onto the back of a 1200GS?
