BMW Panniers for Sale

I have resigned myself to the fact that two sets of panniers are one set too many. So my BMW expandable panniers are up for sale. I have the inner bags too but selling separately. The panniers are specifically for the F650GS. Come with frame & bolts. Take a look at 7th Feb entry to see them on my bike. You will have to get the locks taken out and buy ones that fit your key. I spoke to BMW and you can buy the lock separately.

If you are interested, let me know. Email me on sandilangton@yahoo.co.uk.

Profound dates

I have a passion for profound dates. Here are a few of my favourites:

My birthday 01/01/71.

My parent’s wedding anniversary 01/01/66. Anniversary surprise for the folks or just trying to gatecrash the party?

Paul’s birthday 11/10/70 has the same numbers as my birthday in a different order. We are also the same Chinese years and elements.

Paul and my wedding anniversary 09/07/05 (yes a recent number!).

The day I passed my motorcycle exam 11/09/01. Yep. That is THE 9-11. On that day in Australia my cousin crashed his motorbike and never biked again, the entire Western world suffered the shock of a monumental terrorist attack and I passed my motorbike exam.

Barcelona – Scooter city

Here’s a fact. In one day, walking from near Parallel to La Padrera, Sagrada Familia and back via La Rambla I counted 28 Honda CB250 motorcycles. After a short break there we had seen over 50 CB250s easily. In London I have seen about 15 CB250s in the 4 years I’ve been biking. Honda was closely followed by Yamaha 250s, but I think Honda won. Extraordinary.

In fact, Barcelona is completely sussed as far as city transport goes. The solution to traffic in congested cities in not imposing more taxes or raising the cost of public transport – but two-wheeled transport. Big 2 or 3 lane arterioles for cars, busses and taxis to move through easily. Motorbikes, scooters and cyclist whiz down the little streets. The dense high streets and malls, in other words, the inner belly of the city, is for pedestrians.

Married!
