Titanium panniers and geo tracking
As I have been considering my options regarding panniers, I was thinking about the light weight, strength, and mallability of thin titanium. I was considering if it would be an ideal or poor material to buy some sheeting of, and fabricate some boxes. It would be cool to customize them for my Dr650. Anyone with knowledge of metals care to offer input on this?
Also, I haven't searched to see if anybody has mentioned this, but it seems like it would be a good idea to hide a geotracking device or beacon on your bike or with your gear so you can hunt it down if it goes missing in the night somehow whilst you are in a far-away land.
cheers!
