We do reserve the right to cut them and, unless you identify yourself and at least your town or suburb and state, we will print your email address instead.

THIS MONTH’S BAGMAN

I was going to write that this month’s winner of the excellent and stylish (even if it won’t hold rain gear in the top flap) Andy Strapz AABagz made me eat crow – but then I thought that that’s probably animal cruelty too… my thanks to Izak for making all of us here more aware of how important our photos are, and I hope you get a lot of use out of your bag – without any animals in it! About that bag: if you’re reading this and are interested in setting up or upgrading your luggage system, you owe it to yourself to check out Andy’s website www.andystrapz.com , where he has a lot of outstandingly clever touring accessories listed.
