Fully Loaded

The bike is now fully loaded with luggage carriers, around 120lts of packing space ready for my tour down to Tierra del Fuego in January 2010. The plan in to head south from La Serena on the 9th, cross the border near Portillo on the morning of the 10th and meet up with my riding buddy (Glenn) and his girlfriend in Mendoza.

The rear panniers are Givi 'E41 Keyless', they feature a convenient top flap (secured by a combination lock) that provide easy access to your stuff without having to open the entire case. The build quality appears to be pretty good, I'm confident that they can take a few bumps without popping off. But hopefully there will not be an opportunity to test this theory!
