Full marks. Touring is just not the same when the dotted lines on the road blur together, so how much more do you really want? Also helps the fuel economy a bit, which is a good thing given the additional weight.

Since this is basically stuff that was covered in the earlier thread on R3T HP, I'll be merging them later.
