Never a problem.

Just stick magnetic tank bag in place/pack light and go.

North Wales? - that's not touring; its a commute :-)

I see all the old 'Run to the Sun' trippers are coming out of the woodwork.
In 2001 I led a trip down to Misano, there were 14 of us, 2 x ST, 2 x 888, and the rest a combination of 748, 916, and 996-no one that I recall had any problem with their riding position. Some of us got lost and didn't take a map-did we Ray..............oh, and I got nicked for speeding and fined 238,000 lira-which worked out at £213-we were all together but I was leading-so I got nicked.
