Luggage review: Givi TW02 30-litre waterproof roll bag

Michael Neeves, 21 September 2012 16:52

Givi TW02 30-litre waterproof roll bag, £40.85 Miles covered/time: 2753/one week What’s good: It’s the first time I’ve ever used anything like this, I’d normally have a conventional tail pack. It’s basically a big, tubular, waterproof sack and it’s big enough to store my shoes, jeans, undercrackers, T-shirts, shirts, shorts, toiletries and an assortment of electrical leads and adaptors. It’s ...

Givi T470SM small tank bag, £52.50 and T460B universal ‘Tank Fitting System’ (TFS), £17.33Miles covered/time: 2753/one week What’s good: I used this on an intense week-long riding trip to Italy and France. The universal TFS base straps easily around the frame rails and headstock of my Ducati Streetfighter 848 and the tank bag clips even easier to the base, for ...

Product review: Brooks Barbican shoulder bag

Marc Abbott, 14 September 2012 09:27

Brooks Barbican shoulder bag, £225Miles covered/time: 8000/18 months What’s good? I’ve worn this bag – designed for cyclists, but perfect for those of us vain enough to value style as highly as substance – on every ride for the last year and a half, whether that’s a hop to the supermarket or a 400-mile motorway journey. I’ve applied some low-cost ...

Adam Child, 29 August 2012 11:28

Chain Tsubaki Racing Pro Chain £147.17Miles covered: Eight laps of the Isle of Man TT plus two days racing at Olivers Mount.What’s good: Chains famously snap at the TT they take a massive strain, the jumps and undulations really give them some punishment. The Tsubaki chains are lightweight, specifically designed for racing, ultra-low friction yet strong at the same time, ...

Product Review: Bumpstop ground anchor

Steve Farrell, 23 August 2012 12:19

Bumpstop ground anchor, £49.99 Time used: Three monthsWhat’s good: It can be fitted to a wall just as easily as the ground, making the chain more difficult to attack by elevating it. The 10mm diameter bolts that secure it are impossible to reach with the chain in place. It’s relatively cheap but double-walled and tough looking. The manufacturer says the ...

Product review: Gold Label Soft Saddle Soap

Michael Neeves, 16 August 2012 10:09

Gold Label Soft Saddle Soap, £3.85 for 500gTime used: 15 years What’s good: This is the secret to my clean leathers, boots and gloves. I bought this saddle soap in a horsey shop in Canterbury in 1997, it’s lasted all this time and there’s still loads left. I run a damp sponge over my leathers first and then use a ...

Product review: Aviator Retro Pilot T3 goggles

Marc Abbott, 08 August 2012 14:30

Aviator Retro Pilot T3 goggles, £102Miles covered/time: 20,000/three years What’s good: In the course of these goggles’ high-mileage test, they’ve provided crystal clear vision, with no misting nor glare from the lenses. Beyond this, the elasticated strap has retained much of its integrity after 20,000 miles in all weathers. The lenses pop out easily enough to be changed from dark ...

Luggage review: BMW Motorrad tankbag

Andy Downes, 08 August 2012 14:15

BMW Motorrad tankbag, £127Miles covered/time: 3500/four months What’s good: Sports bikes, by their very track-honed, performance missile nature, aren’t practical. BMW knew this and went to great lengths to design luggage specific to the BMW S1000RR I am running as my long term test bike this year. The five-litre tankbag is an official BMW accessory and works brilliantly. It has ...

Moto-trek Comet 350, £100 day hire (or £34,464 to buy)Miles covered/time: 450/four weeks, plus two weeks living. What’s good: It combines a luxurious motorhome with a spacious garage, rather than having either a motorhome and trailer or the more commonly used van and caravan like most racers. The front of the Comet accommodates up to four people on the move, ...

Product review: BMW bike cover

Steve Farrell, 30 July 2012 12:21

BMW bike cover, £64 Time used: 10 months What’s good: Typically of BMW accessories, it’s well designed and made. BMW supplied it when I had a G650GS as a long-term test bike. Now that’s gone but I still like to use this on my own motorcycles. It’s easily big enough to accommodate a middleweight with fairing and luggage rack. It’s ...
