Hey all. I have a 2016 triumph tiger 800 xrx. It has the stock quick release hard boxes. The other day my foot slipped off the peg going over a small tree and the bike came down. my leg got pushed and trapped under the box near the exhaust. Thankfully there was enough room I could kick off and my forma boot took the burns from the exhaust. I've heard how the boxes can be pretty dangerous and now I see why. I'm looking into the nelson rigg hurricane soft panniers, do I need to get new racks that don't have the quick connect studs? Will the studs coming off the racks rub holes in the bags? Thanks.

After 4.5 years on the road riding our 2014 BMW F800GS from Switzerland to Thailand across 45 countries… experiencing Songkran (Thaï New Year) on our motorcycle was honestly one of the coolest moments of the entire journey 💦🏍️

We celebrated it in Chiang Mai and Sukhothai, and it turned into the best New Year experience of our lives.

Imagine riding through the city getting soaked from every direction for hours, buckets, hoses, water guns, ice water 😅 Yet somehow everything still feels incredibly friendly and respectful.

Absolute chaos. But the fun kind 😜

If you ever travel through Thailand, try to be there around April 13–15 for Songkran at least once in your life 🇹🇭

It might be possible to put the summer windshield back on. What do you think?
