Can't see any baffles (*) in it either. Once that lot starts sloshing around your bike is gonna make like one of those random-movement 'wicked ball' toy things.

(*) other than baffled looks of course

4kg.

Plus the tank.

Plus what looks like an armoured hose.

Or a bath attachment.

You and your TMS, wot you like mate

Oops. You've uncovered my dirty little weight-weenie secret . Well I like it Timbo. But having two would probably not halve the speed of my mat inflation.

A modification of Dracula that I like is, sleeping on right side for example, select Dracula, roll onto right side, then move right hand down between your head and pillow such that it's cupping your bonce with the palm heel in your right temple.

Top work from both parties . Even for a route-o-phobe like Reg, the TCW is right up there.

Just going to say exactly that . A real gem that brickworks. Almost like a "living museum" type of place.

Top stuff. Worth considering shunting a bit more kit out the back (seatpack/harness) to balance the front end. Maybe you already have and it was just a quickie outing so you bunged it all up front to save time, in which case: :smile: . What've you shoved where, out of interest? I like the caged pot ...
