    Did he leave seat cowell on or put the rear seat on to act as a cushion?

    I'd stay with Ventura mate, that way only need the new rack!

    Sold my bag to a mate earlier this year when it looked like my biking days were over after surgery doh! So, got to do it all over again! Still, thankful that I'm back on a bike after all lol.

    I seem to remember he had the pillion seat on as I did on my Gixer. Gonna check that out with him.

    I'm staying two nights in Dignes les Baines so I can do the run from there to Grasse and back a few times. Bring it on. It'll be a good test of the Sportsmarts lol.
