Plus I can fit them in any combination, 10, 20, 30, 40 litres etc
What I found were really good were Rok Straps. They're elasticated rather than being just webbing straps.

Re: What you watching?

... there are signs out warning people to steer clear, no fatalities since I was a kid, but most years there's at least one dog that gets a bite for being curious/stupid. Makes my blood run cold and they've been about since I was a kid.... :? Big Yellow Taxi mate,,? ;)

Re: Donington Road only - 24th April

... good. Really good. I love the far side of Donny and too many people are overly cautious around the old hairpin. The Triple flies out of Craner and being really light means that it's a piddle of pee to shift up early, pin the throttle open, laugh like a loon through Schwantz and carry far too much ...

The first concern was laid to rest very quickly, ...
