Today I have washed Betsie Beezer, fitted the carrier and panniers and changed the dual-seat for the single saddle. I have packed the pannier bags with camping stuff. I just have to strap my clothing bag, tent, foam bedroll plus air bedroll to the carrier, (yup, I need as much comfort at night as I can get) and Bungie it all on and tomorrow morning I'll be off to Cheshireland. It's likely to be frosty Saturday night into Sunday so I have various thermal under-layers and even a fleecy onesie.

G'day GB.
The thought of the sight of you in a fleecy onesie makes me want to poke out my minds eye.
Bikes looking great. Have a great weekend.
Cheers

*smile* That is supposed to aid drainage when I wash the bike. It doesn't. I will have to excavate sometime and make a soakaway.

*smile* As I said, I don't trust the side stand. I left the old girl out under the carport last night to make things easier today. The loaded bike was too heavy to lift onto the centre stand.
