Fantastic weekend away with some of the SWBers!
Friday saw some of us heading up via a more scenic route than the M5, up through a chunk of Wales stopping off at Abergavenny and Honey Café at Bronllys
My rufty tufty bikers still need their creature comforts!
How terribly civilised!
of course, taken before too many beers and vinos
Huddle of bikes...if you look closely you'll see a Lesser Spotted Dessie
Getting ready for the rideout on Saturday..
Clee Hill, stunning panoramic view from here
ooh look, we found a Hobbit! "can we keep him Dad, pleeeeease!?????" lol
Don't ask!!
Iron Bridge...
It all got a bit too much....zzzz
You honestly think we'd NOT do cake??
Moosey!!
This is where we stayed

no doubt the tall tales of derring-do will start shortly ....... or is it a case of "what happened in Shropshire stays in Shropshire ... "

Don't care who you are, how much you have, how powerful you are. You still sit on the toilet with your pants around your ankles. Yep, it's a level playing field..
Re: SWB Shropshire Weekender
Nice bikes everyone. Looks like it was a great meet together. Where did you guys purchase the tail bags? What kinda tail bag is in the picture? I'm looking for something just the right size so it doesn't over power my daily ride...
Re: SWB Shropshire Weekender
Dunno about the one in the pic you'll have to ask Smiler I think, but have you looked at http://www.kriega.com/tags/road" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Not cheap, but versatile and adaptable. rarely see a bad review about them.

Re: SWB Shropshire Weekender
Its an Oxford tailpack, not massively expensive but plenty of space for a week away... Its not sold as waterproof, and though I've never had a problem, if you were in any doubt just pack your stuff into plastic bags beforehand...simples
Mr has Kreiga stuff and really likes it, but I find all the straps and clips a bit of a faff!!

Re: SWB Shropshire Weekender
No sure which ones you mean. The oxford hump back is great as a tail pack or tank bag, and has straps to work as a ruck sack for handy carrying around, though not water proof as smiler said. Mine, the triumph, is a Cargo tail pack. Bungies direct to the bike, using the points on pillion pegs and under the tail. I have a ventura luggage system which the 'cargo' straps to nicely, avoiding direct contact with the bike. As the oxford tail pack, don't rely on it been water proof, I always pack stuff in a bin liner.randysway wrote:Nice bikes everyone. Looks like it was a great meet together.

Hope that helps.
