Packed my bags today as I have my days off and tomorrow going out with the guys to test our bags making sure nothing feels wobbly! Got 3 Kriega bags now. x1 30lt and x2 10lt. I popped it on to my bike just to see how it feels and it's pretty secure . Going for for an hour or so tomorrow. Also took out the baffle. It may stay like this!

Rossgo if you were wondering if they did that for safety reasons, bear in mind that a tank almost empty has more explosive risk than a full tank. It’s the vapour that is volatile, and the emptier the tank the more vapour space available and therefore more explosive risk.

Tested out the bags a couple of days ago. Had everything packed up fully. Feels nice and tight. Don't even think I need to firm up the suspension to be honest as it didn't feel that bad. Also without a baffle sounds great. Not too loud but just a little more fruity and seems to be making it feel smoother.

So it's all in full effect now. Bags almost packed. Bikes ready. And my mate boarded a flight earlier this morning flying across half the world to come tomorrow morning. I'll pick him up and from.thefe we will go to collect his rented bike. Can't believe we booked this last year!!

It's come round quick. I hope you get the weather you deserve, it's been a bit cold and damp recently.

Is that your mate from Perth Rossgo??

Have a great time mate, and hope the weather gods are nice to you!

@Kwacky I really hope so. We've been watching the weather religiously and have heard all the stories about bikers leaving early due to no races etc. Just really crossing everything at the moment

@ Kiwi yes mate that's the one. He's been flying all day so far. Landed in Singapore now waitong in the lounge with a beer. Will be great to see him it was a little over a year ago since we last saw eachother and that was only for half a day really. So this will be great. He's been wanting to go TT for a while and tried arranging it a few times but never got it off the ground! Luckily I have. Although it is only 1 race it could lead to a propee week away doing it in few years time (who knows)
