anyone got any *cheap* bike luggage?

I am looking for a some throw-over type panniers for the XJ
anyone got any that they aren't likely to need?

You can get a new set for £23 from www.mandp.com

Probably the sort you'd use once and throw away

 

I have a pair that have seen some life which a friend used to own that I
bought for a song.
If you are at the EOSM at the weekend you can buy me a couple of pints and
take them away with you.
They are vinyl type. Black, with webbing straps. locks on front (No keys but
most Keyshops have them) fairly clean and reinforced on the bottom edges
with gaffa tape to reduce wear where they touch the bike.
I personally never got around to using them.

Heh. I think I used to have some that were probably these very ones. Burnt
through them like butter on a trip to the emmerald isle I think, with the
exhaust of either my old EN500 or CB500.

Smoking.

 

Sounds good, but the plan was , to them to put stuff in to get TO the EOSM,
(If i can work around SWMBO's shifts).

I am hatching a plan, but this may involve me arriving there from Ashbourne.
plan is:
1. Take caravan to Callow top caravan park friday morning.
2. pick kids/ wife up from school/work
3. get wife to follow me back to callow top in the cage
4. leave them there for weekend, nipping back occasionally to see if they
are OK

what do you think.

robbo, i'm in Ashton under Lyne, lancs

 

Dunno, but this is the place to ask:
