I was fortunate enough to capture this picture on “Vision of the Seas” with my family of three in 2023 on a 10 day cruise Bermuda.

We will be doing the exact same cruise this June, but as a family of four, hopefully able to capture another amazing photo.

We love, cruising with Royal Caribbean!

Hey,

I’m trying to decide between the Mosko Moto Backcountry 35 (black) and the Alpine 30 (black) panniers for my Africa Twin, and I’d love to hear from people who’ve run either (or both).

From what I can tell:

Backcountry seems more rugged and structured, better for longer trips

Alpine looks lighter and slimmer, maybe better for off-road

For those with real-world experience:

Is the price difference worth it?

Also — if I go with the Backcountry 35:

Should I get the offset setup (35L + 25L) for the Africa Twin exhaust?

Or just run full 35L on both sides?

For context:

Mix of dirt and gravel roads and trips but no longer than 5 days

Appreciate any insight!

I just purchased an Africa Twin 2025 and I have been having some issues with wind buffeting. I am 6’4” and I think I need to extend the windshield to help with the noise and reduce the wind hitting me in the helmet.

What brand and type do you recommend?
