Those are Triumph panniers - specifically for the Sprint. How do I know ? I have the same panniers....and that is my Sprint, the other one, in the pics.

Would they fit a GS ? Maybe ? Great bags by the way.

First you claim that you are some kind of Special Ops Ninja packer with such minimalist gear you're worthy of getting a Nobel Peace Prize, poke fun at others who pack "too much" in your opinion, and then you post up a picture with enough bags and crap on it to make it hard to see the f'ing thing

And then you stay at motels?


Dude

i have to agree, left yourself wide open to that one Rev!
cool 'ped btw, i had a honda C50 for a couple years before i got my full license and had as much fun on it as i do now with 1000cc. called it 'outspan', because small ones are more juicy. ive had several bikes now but thats the only one i regret letting go.

...Worked great with the KTM soft bags...

Generally, I can get my tent and all my camping gear in the Wolfman duffle, but with a wet weather forecast, I seperate out the tent from my sleeping bag and other stuff. Makes pitching the tent whilst everything else stays dry much easier, same when packing up.

This past weekend - 4 days & 800 miles offroad.

I added a couple of Wolfman Rolie bags to the bike. One I use for water and the other has extra tools/tubes/first aid kit in it. Everything's 100% waterproof (as attested to by the day and a half we spent in pouring rain )

I have way to much time on my hands so I went through every page. I know hard to believe but.
It shows me it doesn't matter the bike it doesn't matter the stuff cheap, expensive overloaded bare minimum.
If you have the desire you can hit the road.
Also shows the millions of amazing places in America I have to get to.
I had and sold v-strom wish I hadn't from the minute I sold it.

Cheers to all of you and have a good trip

That tent is gone, but not forgotten. In Vermont two years ago in the "Great Wet Summer".

Same trip, somewhere in New York. Just to show it works.

Prior to leaving on the trip. Had an old sleeping bag that wouldn't pack smaller then a human torso. It too is gone. The system will be more compact. Set up was inexpensive, water-proof (big plus on this particular trip) and worked.
