how much can your fazer take

[limax2]

Some impressive loading nick crisp  , even for a 1000.
For my next camping trip I'm thinking of ditching the heavy hard panniers and using some decent throw over ones instead. I keep trying to reduce what I take without much success. Like someone else said you get used to the handling, but it feels really nice when you get rid of it. A mate says it doesn't effect his 1000 Fazer much.

The thous take it all in their stride, although I'm sure in my pic you can see the forks bending under the weight 

That was a glamping trip - big 3-man tent, camping chair and table (mini-thing) and lots of other comforts. Usually I go much lighter and really don't notice much difference on the thou.

Yeah we can't guarantee the weather up here but can guarantee some cracking roads to ride :-) as for you loosing a boot? Hope you didn't have any sheep's feet in it lol
I done the whole of west coast of Scotland a few years back now, had a gs1200 at the time, was brilliant ;-)
Applecross is a fantastic road if weather is dry, but there's plenty others in central Scotland that can be done from Glasgow or Edinburgh in a day taking in some great roads.

How on earth did you see over that tankbag?

[sadlonelygit]

easy, just rested my chin on it.
checking my speed was a totally different matter!

A Katana Jim, but not as we know it?

Seen the 750, but didn't know they did a pop-up headlamp 1000. What market was that for?

Those high, extending tank bags are great for long distances. As you said, just rest your chin/chest against it on motorways etc and relax; ahhhhh!

that was in the 750 days, before the gixxer motor fell in there
