Minions and Damerells

[Saul]

I went out this morning, not really for any reason apart from to run a couple of errands.  
Anyway I found myself up on the Moor so took a couple of photos.   Then rode back through the Glynn Valley to Bodmin the the A30 to St Columb and Damerells.  I needed to book my 600 mile service for the Hornet.  Funny when I headed out wet, slippery and wobbly by the time I got back it had dried up and it is amazing how confidence grows when there is more grip.   Felt properly cold though, thank goodness for heated grips.

A question from Pete, how much weight do the panniers add and does it make it too heavy to push it about, how much wider than the bars are they.... 

And last but not least how do you ride it in the cold and wet there'd going to be puddles and everything

16KG each fully loaded, no, narrower than the bars.  Either ride in the cold and wet or not at all, tis a factor of the ride not a reason not to go.

Well that settles Pete's questions. 

With them fitted it looks better than without them

£9677.  I like the new Trans Alp better, that new strom appears huge in the flesh, long bike.
