Pack Dog
Hi all, looking for some advice from the dogs who've got experience with different kinds of panniers and luggage systems.
I've got a single cylinder BMW GS650 that I use both for one-up commuting and touring (dirt and tar), currently with no luggage/panniers installed. When required I strap a rucksack or heavy-duty duffel bag to the seat and rack behind me. But it isn't an elegant solution.
I need carrying capacity for occasional local shopping, as well as touring (tent, inflatable mattress, stool, stove etc.).
The solution would seem to be a top box for the shopping and touring. And then soft or hard panniers for touring? Or something else?
I don't have the budget for fancy gear, generally buy everything second hand.
Your hard-won advice is much appreciated.
