    There is no cold. There's only inadequate equipment.

    Ah, now the extreme beer consumption of 8 days in the Czech Rep. has worn
    off I sort of see that it's a bike only type thing.


    The winch [1] could be useful as well.


    [1] that ain't my winch in the picture..

    I respectfully disagree with you. Having lived in the eifel for 4 years
    and having all the required kit, I say it was fucking cold and I don't
    want to be that cold anymore.

    It might get a bit tedious if it was four years, but actually it'll just be
    a long weekend.

    £10? You were overcharged.

    Right, what I would like. What I would really really like is a removable
    lightweight Cargo Sidecar which would fit the R100RS Mono.

    Beer, genny, beer, firewood, BBQ, beer, large tent, beer, 4 season bags,
    beer

    Has to free or very cheap mind and someone has to know how to fit/set up.
    I've had off road tyres on an R100 before.

    In fact I like the idea of something so QD you load it up, head to your
    chosen camping destination with a kitchen sink, pitch camp and take it off
    for solo use.

    Heh I suppose it would be indecent to have a SOB with full luggage AND a
    Gixxer Thou on board :eek:)
