LOAD ME UP DO WE REALLY NEED THE COFFEE MACHINE, DEAR?
COMPILED BY THE BEAR, STUART WOODBURY

When I started travelling by bike (as opposed to going to the pub on Friday night and to a keg thereafter), Army surplus ammunition bags were the crème de la crème of motorcycle luggage, augmented by Army (or Navy) surplus duffle bags if you were going to ride around Australia. We needed little on the road and carried less, and what we did carry was supplied by Stoliar Brothers Army Surplus To The Gentry and tied on with rope or string. Washing line was a favoured security device, and many a laundry was deprived of this time honoured means of drying clothes.
