I shall try to post the link I intended above:

I am using the [url][/url] icon:

And it will not work again. When I try to post I get the message.

"New members have to wait 9999976 before posting external links.

Please remove the following links before saving the post: "xxxxx" "

Have also tried Insert to see if that works (ie. the blue horizontal arrow)

And that will not work either. I get the same message!!

The Seinfeld episode "The Comeback" has this joke as a plot point: as George Costanza is stuffing his face with shrimp cocktail at a board meeting, a coworker tells him "Hey, George! The ocean called; they're running out of shrimp." note It's not until long after the encounter that George comes up with his own response: "Yeah, well, the jerk store called; they're running out of you!" None of George's friends are impressed with the comeback ("There are no jerk stores!") and give him some other insults of the same nature he could use instead (i.e. "The zoo called; they want you back by 6.") George instead saves his comeback up all episode, flying all the way out to Akron, Ohio where the coworker had since moved, finding out where the guy works, and even going so far as to recreate the original scenario where the first putdown had been used so that he could spring it. He wasn't prepared for a comeback to his comeback. "What's the difference? You're their all-time best seller." A flummoxed George responds by saying he had sex with the other guy's wife, only to find out that she's in a coma.

Evening All,

I've been researching tank bags as one of my next purchases, as I'm now spending a LOT of time on the new RS! I thought I'd revitalise this thread as it seems a lot of knowledge is contained within.

Can anyone confirm that the Givi ring is the BF11 for the R1200RS?

I like the look of the XS307, but was also looking at something smaller, maybe the ST602B...

It certainly looks a good choice, just depends I guess in whether I want the tank hugging look of the SWMotech City item…

Hello

I did have a 602B and tank ring fitted, but for me it was sort of getting in the way and also a bit on the small side.

I have now gone with the Givi tail pack UT813 this fits the pillion seat perfectly and is just about big enough for my needs.

one is £75 and perfectly functional - is another £80 worth it for something a funny shape that might not suit other bikes you own now or in the futire.

I never travel light but (a) don't like large tank bags and (b) don't like weight outside the wheel base.

My common set up for weekends away is as per the attached photo i.e. smaller tank bag and top box

However I have also just acquired a Kappa CR602 to carry heavy things (notebook PC etc) inside the wheel base. It is very well made with 20 litre capacity and will strap down nicely on the back half of the pillion seat. It is stand alone waterproof and has a solid base which should protect notebook PCs, cameras etc, etc. Normal price seems just shy of £100 but I got mine from NorthWestHondaClearance on Ebay for £79.99. They have just one left if anybody is interested

I shall "baptise" it on an overnight down to the Midlands this weekend.

Chris

Once again, you guys never fail to come up with the 'goods'. All useful info, thank you...
