Tank Pad

A little more successful retail therapy, the tank pad.  Fitted on easily once the Triumph warning decals were removed. Looks good. eBay - Triumph-Explorer-1200-2012-Black-White-Tank-Pad

Retail Therapy 2 - Failed

Unfortunately, the Touratech part didn't come up to the spec I need. The central bar for the RAM mount is way too thin to be any use so I need to send it back. They have agree to take it back but of course it will cost me the postage, both ways.  Touratech UK very efficient and same day as the return they refunded the money to my PayPal account. So back to square one of where and how to fix the RAM mount so that I can get full right lock when required. C'est la vie.

Stickers

Although never a fan of the overuse of stickers on bikes and those "I've been everywhere" covered panniers, I have a love for the humble Toro. And this silver one is the daddy of small pannier friendly bulls! Döra is yet to explore Spain but I have and the Givi toolbox has over 250000 miles under it's belt, with many visits to the Iberian peninsular! 2014?
