One tiny, tiny positive about no longer having our beautiful dog after we lost him at the end of December is having far more freedom without being constrained by dog care and planning. We are hoping to do some camping and touring on the bikes now and just longer days and weekends out on them in general. We have tickets for WSBK at Donington booked with camping, so I have bought a tail pack that will fit on both of my bikes. The one I use for commuting is just that bit too small for stuff needed for a few nights, even though I am pretty good at travelling very light. Just need the weather to cooperate now!
