17 Evolution of the species The three piece pannier set of Trekker luggage is particularly suited to the XL700V Transalp, as it fits in with the lines of the motorcycle and is practical. The aluminium panelled finish is just what’s needed on touring enduro bikes, like this Honda (but also on similar brands, as illustrated by the photos on this page). The series is also easy to install and incorporates an optional opening hatch on the full lid, convenient for accessing the contents without opening the whole case. The inside is designed to easily accommodate custom inner bags, which are removable, expandable and elegantly styled. They are divided into two compartments with a handy pocket. The T483 tank bag also stands its grounds: in addition to the GPS holder, it is in fact equipped with a shoulder strap concealed inside the main handle and an unprecedented feature which transforms the side pockets into a practical waist-pack, ideal for carrying your essentials when you stop for a break. Last, but not least, the classic D313S windscreen; its smoky colouration is a perfect compliment to the front view of the Transalp. General Information THE MONTI SIBILLINI NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY Piazza del Forno, 1 - 62039 Visso (MC) Telephone: +39 0737 97.27.11 Fax: +39 0737 97.27.07 Email: parco@sibillini.net web: www.sibillini.net rounded by steep, yet dome shaped summits. Crossing this plain is like travelling out of time, even if from spring to summer, these green pastures are painted by the red, yellow and violet blossoms of wild flowers. After the plain, the route ascends to the Forca di Cresta pass, with a stun- ning view of the multi-coloured plain and the Adriatic co- ast. From this terrace, the route rapidly descends and you reach Arquata del Tronto and Ascoli Piceno. The Regional Capital merits a visit, for its monumental centre and for the rich culinary traditions, but also for the numerous events and historic enactments which animate its narrow alleys. The legend of the Sybil is perfect for the last part of our itinerary. On the summit of the mountain, a grotto was the access to the bowels of the earth, where those seeking the prophesies of the Sibyl, faced with two enormous iron doors, had to chose the right one, as the wrong one lead to hell. Today, access to the grotto is not allowed, but the whole area surrounding Mount Sibilla is dotted with an- cient monasteries and mysterious manors. The roads are tortuous but the road surface is better than on the western side of the Park. In rapid succession, you pass through the towns of Montegallo, Montemonaco and Montefortino, all worthy of a brief visit and surreptitiously esoteric, then close the loop at Amandola, and carry on to Sarnano and then San Ginesio. The Trekker range of luggage is now available for the BMW F650/800 GS BMW R1200GS/ADVENTURE and for the Yamaha XT 1200 Z Super Ténéré, among others. The range includes two sizes: the 46 litre Maxi and the 33 litre Small. The Maxi can also be used as a top case, whilst the accessory range includes an expandable inner bag, a top case luggage rack and a securing hook kit to simplify the use of the classic cargo net.
