         Thoroughly enjoyed the pics and the report. Not a criticism but one struck me a bit odd:-
 
  
          I find myself on very narrow goat tracks quite often and have to turn through almost 180� to chase the next leg. I carry a sidestand pad so that I can spin the bike on the pad. Obviously this is local and I do not have the luggage you had. Is the weight a problem or is it the less-than-strong sidestand that prevents you from spinning the bike?

               I managed to find a bit where I could drive into the snow bank and performed a 15ish point turn. It was very scary.
