Good to see you didn't set the tent up under a tree, you can never trust those damn Drop Bears 

There's something special about a solitary camping trip with a motorcycle isn't there?

[shaneygrog]

Yes there i.

Cuz I wanna add stuff!

Mt Cole north west of Beaufort has some ripper camp spots, it a bit of a favourite of mine, if you have never been its worth a look.

[shaneygrog]

Haven't been out that way in a while. Good tracks out there I remember, and a good lookout.

 love this one with the sunrise behind me. The colours of nature complement the colours of the bike I think.

 

i think youll find the red of the sun set makes the bike look slower.......now, a blue sky would make it look so much faster.

How did hell did some guy crash / bash that truck in such a big empty field, lol

We did something similar at the weekend. Nothing like a bit of a fire

Yes your arse looks big with boxes. Should have brought a 1200gs! "boxes are for boxers"

[Swifty]

I was on the one with the topbox. Felt a little top-heavy at first but did just fine. I have the 58litre Givi Trekker on the Yamaha rack. Side bags/cases probably better for centre of gravity. Both have pros and cons. The Kriega OS side bags look like a good solution

Soft side bags ok too. My topbox is a slim pannier put on as a topbox. Don’t want width 

 

 

[Noel McCutcheon]

don't wanna be too wide load

The top box raises the centre of gravity for sure. The side boxes don't do that and although it looks wide it handles very well. 

If I was going somewhere that I expected to fall off a lot I would go with soft stuff but if there's a trip that's realistically going to be on road then its boxes all the way.
