  6. Never seen a Desmo that loaded, well done. Lets hope it's not too top heavy and you end up with everything blowing off leaving you with just a toothbrush.
     
  7. We shall see ... I've 300 miles to do tomorrow up to the Yorkshire Dales, then a short trip to Heysham for the ferry on Friday :)
     
  8. Is the IOM on for 2 months now or are you there until the Manx :Wideyed:

  9. Saves next thread, 'Anyone Got A Spare Desmo Seat Unit?'.
     
  10. Or "Has anyone travelling towards Heysham seen a load of Oxford luggage on the motorway? " :)
     
  11. First fuel stop and one of Gloucester services' amazing sausage rolls for elevenses ... Everything still in place but the wind has given my bungied-on MCN / emergency loo roll a bit of a battering! :)

  12. Haha never thought anyone would ever top trump me for luggage on a Ducati when we went to South Italy! You're missing a 5ltr container of petrol in the left pannier bag!! Possibly the most useless thing I wasted time and weight carrying. I didn't even use it once!!

  13. By the way, if this was a competition then you only win if you get your knee down sans luggage!

  14. @Drinky - note the spare green utility strap for emergencies!
     
  15. I know all about carrying spare fuel - had to carry it everywhere till I got my larger tank! Didn't help me on the way home from Germany last week though :-/

    Oh - and "sans luggage" means "without luggage" if my ancient O level French serves me correctly ;-)
