I got a new helmet, tank bag and back pack. yay.

There was a guy on a yellow SH125 in the morning, choosing like 5-6 helmets... Dunno how he'll carry them all :O

I liked the look of the tank bag but how would it attach to the Tmax? There's no metal for the magnets and no holes for straps to pass through. Or did I miss something obvious?

I can't see a tank bag being any good - even a tail pack is useless on the mk3 & mk4 cos the seat opens the wrong way. Yamaha do sell a nice specific tunnel bag for the mk3/4 though.

You could buy this attachment to use it:

I'm going to put the tank bag on my rear seat with a spider bungy. I got a water proof cover for the bag just in case it rains but I thought it would be useful to have that bit of extra storage especially in France.

On my big burger for last years Euro do, i put two male Poppers on the tunnel and the two female bits on the bottom of the Givi scooter bag.
I just drop the bag in the gap and off i pop, only ever bother popping the poppers if i have any weighty stuff in the bag as it never moves.

Bought the tank bag and waterproofs. On getting home one side of the tank bag main zipper is bust and also coming away from the bag. Going to use the tank bag as a 'cheap' tunnel bag and it's also a backpack. The waterproofs are for people with 5' spider legs alone. Back to them tomorrow

The Lidl tank bag I bought last year makes a great tail pack on the W800's carrier!

I bought a set of the underwear which is excellent, just like Aldi's was last year.

The helmets looked decent, especially the fibreglass full face for £59.99.

Well you are old, old ppl like socks, especially for christmas.

I am a cheeky bastard but couldn't resist saying it.
