Oh and lots of twisties - didnt mention that did I? I am just back from some private instruction on cornering with the scoot almost fully laden for the trip - just to make sure that I am comfortable riding under those conditions with this heavy piece of equipment.

I did eventually get the posting photos sorted thanks SteveADV - just the internet speed in that part of the house. Also found a list of components for a smart phone holder aka GPS in case I get lost - or maybe lost on purpose. Tasmania is such a beautiful island it will be very tempting just...

I hope this works.

I have been riding a little SYM 200 HD for the past few years, mainly commuting to work love it so much that we undertook a couple of longer weekend trips. I realised that if I wanted to do more long distance riding I would need a bigger scoot to cope with the highway speeds, hills and the extra...

Yes tried that SteveADV still no luck. Happy to email or if its possible to PM (if that is an option on this site) the photo's to someone who is able to upload.

Hi Guys Not computer savy - have photos (jpeg format) how do I get them to stick on here? Been struggling for a while. Thx

Hi Bicyclenut and SteveADV - The pannier frame requires the top box fitting as well. I will take photos from all angles tonight or tomorrow and photo's of the fitting instructions as well. Will post in the next day or so. Lee my scoot is 2014 compliance plate. Loved my little scoot and its...

Arrived and fitted Thank you for providing the details of the supplier - I had gone almost all over the world searching for the pannier frames and was sure that my only option was to have someone make some. But Petes were able to get a pannier frame and topbox fitting from their supplier -...

So very true Snowdog. I havent done ferry crossings even with a car; and am still relatively new to two wheels; so I am still trying to figure things out. Wont be taking anything of value except maybe phone or camera but they will be with me - just dont want to bother with inconvenience of...

Hey Lee Apparently a ride around Tassie is a right of passage for riders down under - along with the Great Ocean Road in Victoria/South Australia. Called the Great Ocean Road because its a road beside a great big ocean - you can see that us Aussies are very imaginative. LOL NZ would also be...

Thanks Snowdog. Unfortunately soft luggage which I already have is not really an option as the trip I am planning involves taking a ferry from Melbourne to Tasmania which means leaving the luggage on the bike in the hold; and on the side of the road when hiking or sightseeing - a little too...

Thanks Bicyclenut I checked out their site which indicates their supplier still has some (fingers crossed). Cannot order online - no shipping options to Australia. Might have to contact a friend to organise for me. In the meantime I have emailed them to confirm that they still have some...

Thanks SteveADV - WOW!! now that is extreme! hopefully my experience will not be anywhere near as bad. Yes I plan on getting a top box in addition to hard panniers; part of my trip will be via ferry from Melbourne to Tasmania and the bike and all the gear will be left in the hold of the...

I've just picked up my new scoot and totally in love with my new travel buddy. I plan on a riding trip in an area where the expectation is 4 seasons in one day this will require more luggage than usual and I would prefer to have it securely stored in hard panniers. Unfortunately I have just...
