Trip to Spain - dtm - 19-08-13
Well, not sure if this is the correct place for it or not, but here goes.
Some of my photos from my last trip to Spain (Portugal-Spain-Portugal). 13 days and about 2500 miles. The bike held up better then Us

The soft panniers (saddlebags), are from GIVI. They are from around 1998 I think, but you can find new ones here. The numb bum part I got a lot of. Those were some incredible vacation/trip, and quite cheap also. I was amazed how "little" money we spent.

Dump that crap! Go light! Are you gonna drag all that stuff around all your life? Listen to De Niro in "Heat", and be ready to drop everything in an instant! Posessions = chains! :lol
All my kit for a week's camping now fits in one 60 litre tailpack with room to spare, a couple more t-shirts and it's 2 week's worth.
