Christmas wasn't great with ill elderly parents, sorting out care is not happening, between jobs so sat in the middle of nowhere on a diddy little cock up of a job, could do with a little sunshine and a massive piss up

Keep thinking about all that weather protection - last nights 4 hour greasy plod home left me opaque with salt - and then thinking about all the filtering I couldn't do

Almost run in then Martin.

As to the better weather protection, looking at how much clearance most riders leave to traffic when they filter, 95mm will easily fit; unless of course you filter like wot I duz.

They are prone to changing colour after a filtering session.

That dimension is the width of the mirrors. I find I have to fold my mirrors in now when it gets a bit of a squeeze, it's the other more solid stuff that concerns me and I can't find dimensions for that. Oh and wriggling that extra 100 kg too. Anyway its just idle speculation, suspect it'll be a while before this one gets run into the ground, despite it being more than tad parky running up to north Shropshire last night. Next week looks like Shropshire Romsey  Sutton Coldfield Romsey Essex Romsey Falmouth.  Think I might apply to the iron butt association, or was it the frozen one?
I dream of buying sport cases, if anybody sees them on eBay before I do let me know. It was my throw over panniers that stopped me getting my legs hurt in my one and only collision to date that terminated my last fj.
