Doing it myself mate, easy peasy just takes time and patience.
Recommendations for luggage definitely ventura tail pack, but pricey I think. Bought mine second hand. Can't fault it though.
Will try best to come on bike safe and peak district, but can't commit to dates at the minute. Might book a day off work though and give the bike a thorough going over, ooh err.

Hey guys!
Just wanted to check if everyone is still up for this? This weekend going to be too soon?
Went for a 10hr+ ride saturday and absolutely loved it. I don't know if it's just me, but after about 1.5hrs i always feel a lot more relaxed, confident and comfortable on the bike:)
Only thing is this neck/shoulder blade pain is really ruining it for me...once the ibuprofen's wear off that is :/
I really want to get to the bottom of it, because it's only on the left side... checked it up, it's the rhomboid minor muscle.
Cheers all!

I think it's going to be too soon for me, sorry mate. I have work show following weekend too, and if you're busy weekend after then think maybe not till sept for me? Sorry

. Up for it mid to late sept though.
