When those huge Touratec style shipping containers can have their drawbacks :shock: Take care out there ..... that doesn't look like it'll be an easy recovery, if there's anything left to recover :(

I won't have hard panniers on my bike..., or even soft panniers if I can cope without them.

Nothing more than rider error hard or soft luggage is required when on an adventure ride accordingly simple lots of negative comments on panniers and bike not really need from fellow bikers
