Ventura system is top stuff, did 8 days round europe last year with it on the Falco - no probs.

Pity you don't like back packs. I used a baglux tank bag and a 40l rucksack. It was a goodun, cost about £45 quid but the straps were thick and very padded. I didn't feel a thing for long periods. I had enough for a long weekend and clubbing every night - plus all my "being a tart" bits like after shaves and cleanser, toner, moisturiser etc and a different pair of shoes/trainers every day.

Hi Brian,
I have a '99 Mille and during the summer I traveled with my girlfriend within Greece!!! It wasn't the most pleasent jurney but the old girl managed to do it without any problems. Anyway I use oxford's Sports Panniers,I have them for almost three years now and I am very happy with them. The quality is good,their capacity is good (about 100lt,I think) and they come in black!!! If you need anything more that I can tell you please ask me...

Regards Nitro

I just did 11 days and almost 6000 km on my RSV. I had a modified Ventura Tankbag (Which I attached 4 suction cups to the bottom) which worked perfectly, and a Ventura Pack rack and slip-on Ventura bag for the rack. Heaps of room and still able to comfortably do 230+kph with the luggage on, and that wouldnt be so easy with paniers.

Cheers
