Subject: Re: Soft Side-bags on AT


Hi @ riders,

In France, a well-known national bikers association,  the FFMC consider
that soft bags are better than alu sidecases. Because of weight, and
particularly danger regarding an accident (hardness, square extremities).
And most of this cases are used (in France) by bike-chargers, very rarely
by the others bikes.

I would use alu cases only if I decided to travel all over the countries
(strong, capacity...).
,but not for "everyday" riding.

I think too that the look is not very suitable to the AT...taste and
colours, that is the question :-)

Pierre
