Agreed, just a terrific day for riding... and it's barely even February! Ended up at 309 miles, door-to-door.

I had a blast! Here's a few pics. I calculated we rode approx. 180 miles of pure twisties--thats a lot of turning. And it was a COFSTA FIRST: 6 riders, all interconnected thru the miracle of Marconi. (not pasta) I think it made the ride go off smoother than ever---safer too. Here's a couple pics. At the MeetupTenere Boy looking smug Broz putting a curse on Brick (or something) The 180 miles of twisties looked like this:

Didn't even know the bags were back there. Overall the bike feels very light.

GREAT!! So now we got TWO Lance trucks in the fleet. They really are pretty light bags. 2MM thick sidewalls made from T5052 aluminum. I'm thinking mine weighed about 10 lbs each and hold a total of 105 litres between them. Or 675 packs of Nip-Chee's.

I think looks can be deceiving. They look kind of like a bread truck, big boxy slow thing.....but I can testify. Not the case. I would like to see some guys on crotch rockets try and beat Bob don the mountain yesterday. One minute he's there, next minute gone. What a great day! Brick what was that GPS app you mentioned at lunch?

You nailed it--From Wiki:A pannier /ˈpæniər/ is a basket, bag, box, or similar container, carried in pairs either slung over the back of a beast of burden, or attached to the sides of a bicycle or motorcycle. The term derives from the Old French, from Classical Latin, word for bread basket.[1]

Broz, It's called "CoPilot Live" it takes a LOT of memory as it loads all the maps and such ON your iPhone. I should have gotten the iPhone with more memory!! Damn!

Hmmm I think you should put a "Spam" sticker on them. Heck it looks like the right shape for a Spam can??? Or like my one riding friend did... on the side he put, "If you can read this turn me over". Obviously he put it on upside down!
