Outside NEC - pannier sprung open !

Outside the NEC heading North onto the M42, Your right pannier lid sprung open, was it you ? I couldn't tell if it was a wee or a vee as I was past in a flash...

Would be almost sure it one of those weird shaped, no room, useless Suzuki GT ones? Glad to be shot of mine I was. Popped open on me 3 or 5 times.

Had someone bought too much booty at the show perhaps :-)

It would appear to have been empty, at least it was when I went past... As you correctly guessed Countrysailor it was indeed the standard luggage. I was constantly getting grief of my mates as they said it was only good for carrying a cricket bat... Tw@s !

I wouldn't have thought you could get a cricket bat in it. It wouldn't even take my Textile jacket if it still had the back armour in. Well shot of 'em I was, got Suzuki to buy them back.
