    It is now a few months since the vorsprung debacle and now I am calm enough to talk about the experience(this may come over as "slightly cynical".The Fehling side case holders fitted easily and looked first class,however "followers of the shisen thread"will remember a huge amount of man input(and my woman's input) trying to fit the rear carrier.The fucking thing was put together by people from another galaxy with a 3mm difference on the fixing centres on opposite sides! I eventually convinced the supplier that there was a problem and after returning the twat was reimbursed. When return was agreed I asked could the supplier send me another one he used this phrase which will be my Mantra when I am living in a home he replied QUOTE: "It's the last one in the world----sorry" so I have my new motorcycle but no luggage capacity at all, this is why I am a pessimist

    Hi Wee Neil, unless I'm missing something, you have your money back so why don't you just go and buy some other luggage?

    I have looked but a house purchase has eroded the chances for a while

    Well that place wasn't suitable. It only had 3 bedrooms so not enough space for a "Sophisticated Gentlemen" visit - you'll have to slum it where we are now.

    BTW, found a new restaurant (about 5 kms from us) last Wednesday which proved to be very nice.

    Run by an ex-Parisien restaurateur (biker) who's now set up in the 'sticks'. Excellent service, great grub and 13.50€. The deal comprises : starter, main course, cheeseboard and dessert. Wine and coffee included. Excellent value.

    There's no collection Steve, it's buy and consume, buy and consume, it's buy and consume, buy and consume, it's buy and consume, buy and consume.
