Subject: Givi boxes


I thought I might share this with you as I'm very satisfied with my
latest purchase for my AT. This weekend, I collected my E360 Givi topbox
from M&P motorcycle parts. My initial impression was "bloody hell,
that's huge!"  But once it was on the back of the AT, it looked fine. I
drove the 30 miles back to my house at speeds above 70mph. The handling
was fine. Took the girlfriend out for a spin around the motorway with it
- she was impressed - she said she felt much more secure having
something to support her back whilst we were tooling along at 80mph. And
finally, this morning, I loaded the box up with all my stuff to bring to
work and took off through the morning traffic. Again, no handling
problems. Their literature recommends speeds no higher than 120kmh when
the box is on-board, but on the AT, it seems to be as stable as anything
even at higher speeds.

I'm extremely chuffed - that's an English expression. It means "very
happy". I can thoroughly recommend Givi products to anyone who needs
some extra carrying capacity on their Twinster. Mind you, I've not got
sideboxes yet, so I can't yet enter the debate about grounding the boxes
in corners :-)
