Coming down Hartside the pannier was 2 inches off the floor (according to the traffic sergeant/accident investigator) on a bend I overcooked/underlooked a few years ago, braking wasnt an option, steering was pointed where I wanted to go so the only thing to do was leeeeaaaaan.

Traction was maintained at what must have been close to the limit and my arse put a crease in the seat, bike and I came out of the bend with a smile.

Great luggaged and pillioned in the wet and dry, totally recommended.Smile
