Hi Shaun & Lonnie

Lonnie - I lost all the pictures of our trips when the old laptop died
and would appreciate copies if possible, and don't scare others on this
forum with my old mug.

Wombeyan caves trip will have to wait a while, body may need repairs.

Shaun - my little brother picked up the bags when he ran an import
business from Vietnam, purchased from the Minsk shop in Hanoi
that you should be able to find on the net.

They were ~A$30, are of very heavy duty vinyl stitched and riveted.
Heavy as heck. They have a large alloy plate on the inside surface next
to the bike that I have covered in yoga/camping mat foam to protect
the bike. This is because they also come with heavy steel folding
frame that bolts/welds to the Minsk frame. Never had the mat
melt while sitting on the bike exhaust. I also added 3mm ply
inside as I was worried about the rivets rubbing holes in
the 5 litre fuel container I had.

Not waterproof and need everything packed in plastic bags.

On a trip to Neville siding the bike kept falling over, away from the stand
side ,20kg of tools packed into that side did not help - grin and
I have learnt my lesson in balanced packing.

The Motodry bags I have are OK for highway use, but not durable
for bush bashing, nor can carry all the junk I think I need if
repairs required.

Hope this helps

Alex
