Great pics Hi Stu, Your loved one is a joy to behold...! Those panniers look small or do you just travel light? Just got back from a pretty tortuous trip north. Didn't pick up any soft luggage but went with the back-pack option. The weight didn't go well with the riding position (but then I did cover over 1000 miles between Mon night and tonight so I guess most bikes would strart to get a bit uncomfortable!! ) May try panniers but those moulded panels look too bulbous and flimsy to cope with anything heavy and i don't want to damage the paint.
