Keeping abreast of the latest accessories...

Post by daveuprite »

Well I found that my Acerbis bar-mounted tool bag had developed a few rips and tears, so time for a replacement.

Tracie and I went shopping in St Junien for something cheaper and just as effective.

It didn't take long to find this:

I made a bit of a boob with the first fit but after a bit of tittilating and several fumbles I went for bust and managed a hands on approach to the problem. It now crosses the heart of my bike and lifts and supports the front end with bra-vado.

The real challenge was breaking the new look to 'Peter the Beta', who had previously beaten his chest at the manly enduro mudplugging he had been faced with. Now he had to embrace his new MGBGT transformation and accept his/her new role as a Trans Beta. It went quite well, considering. Petra has accepted the surgery and is listening to K D Lang even as I write. She is even discussing the move to a diesel engine.

Any suggestions for further transmorphications would be most welcome, budget withstanding...

Lots of room inside too. I can get about 36 C-spanners in there.

Mam that looks good. Big enough to get a couple of small puppies in I should imagine. Tried marketing it yet? Adventure guys are really into these multi-use gadgets. “This time next year Rodney” and all that. Good luck with the venture.

Thanks Spike. Glad that someone can see the potential in it. All this expensive Wolfman / Givi / Touratech stuff is so bland. If only they went polkadot or maybe leopardskin and added some glamour to their products they'd be on to something I'm sure.

I may expand the range soon to include a top box:
