[ST] throwover soft panniers



I have both the Triumph soft panniers and the Oxford humpback.

See them alone and together at:
http://57627958.home.icq.com/oxfordhumpback.html . The humpback tailpack is
great and a pillion can sit on top of the base and carry the pack as
standard backpack if necessary.

The Triumph panniers are excellent and also make very effective rollbars
when stuffed full of your partner's cloths ;)

I also have the Triumph tank bag and a mountain backpack with 4 litre water
bladder. I like the flexibility of having all four to match the
forever-changing luggage x distance x passenger x riding-style combination
that the ST is capable of.
