Hi all, excellent thread and thanks as always to the Originals for setting up HU. I normally TRY to accept others' opinions but....Metal Mule panniers are FAR superior to the touratech ones. There is no question. They have been seen to act as crash bars in crashes and slides down the road at high speeds. I feel if anyone thinks otherwise they've not yet seen the M. Mules. Also for me to travel round the world I'd want to try and make it a journey. Take the most suitable bike for learning as you go/ meeting people and really travelling. That means slowly. Seriously it's the Honda C90. Reliable, small enough to carry, spares everywhere, simple and totally adequate if seeing and experiencing the journey is the aim. Finally I think the idea is to take what would be no loss if lost, wrecked or stolen. If the cheap as chips C90 expires take a bus or whatever till you find another cheapo. Meet the locals. I'm no different from the others in zooming past too fast but I try to remember that for me the reason for travelling is the actual travelling! Fair enough to others but Celtic and I seem to see it similarly. Whatever, enjoy your trips, Linzi.
