re:luggage. had a few days in france last year,pondered over luggage. bought some cheap and cheerful oxford first time soft stuff. Apart from the rain covers being crap(we eventually made our own better ones using a butchered cheap tent) we managed very well. Going to Dijon this year(on 28/05/09) so bought some oxford lifetime stuff. much bigger(oh! god)
Having eyeballed lots of luggage we were never reet keen on the scaffolding used on hard luggage. How to protect your leathers when you want to leave them behind. We take a plastic bin liner bag and a wire bicycle lock. Wire through jacket arms,one trouser leg,shove all into bag,tie bag up.wire through front wheel and lock. We have done this many times and the tied bag keeps leathers dry too.
