Are they the Corbin beetle bags?

They might be colour coded, but F*** they are ugly.

Pete that 1100S is in Southport Superbikes in er......Southport strangely enough

I was in there a week or so ago and saw the bike in all it's glory and it's feckin' ugly panniers.

I think they are Corbins, they load from the top and they look very small inside. The bike ain't that nice either.

You need to look in the new Corbin cat for the full X rated pics. They have a replacement saddle with a built in pod as well. Me thinks the designers are taking too many drugs.

Rgds,

The single seat/pod looks "so last year dahrling..." - a bit like all carbon body panels

Carbon fiber panels??? I'm not even going there!!!

As for panniers saw an S other day with a pair of Givi's on which struck me as being little odd,i had a brand new pair(BMW) when a bought my S secondhand,i sold e'm!! never understood why people need e'm, just try carrying less.

ah but my panniers have had to carry a jacket and helmet for someone this week and only last week I had a valve compressor, exhaust header flanging tool and a cylinder head in them, so they do have their uses

However carrying a Vincent Comet crank in a MPS seat bag on the back of a Honda CM200T was quite amuseing, seemed to want to wheelie

Few points worth noting about that particular bike Pete, and reasons not to consider buying it:

1) It's in Southport Superbikes

2) It's not in that good a nick

3) It's in Southport Superbikes

4) The back wheel's got play in it

5) It's in Southport Superbikes

6) Would you want to own a bike which had been previously owned by someone with the taste to fit those panniers?

7) It's in Southport Superbikes

8.) It's overpriced beause it's, er........In Southport Superbikes

Reasons to be cheerful

Dave.
