I had snow and hail on my way into the office this afternoon, luckily I was not in my summer gear.

Btw Clov!s, you might be interested in: http://www.vulcanet.pro/shop/uk/home/10-vulcanetuk.html

They're similar to quickshifter wipes.

Quite impressed by this cheaper alternative to a Kriega Tail Pack -

Doesn't look bad, but you can see where the extra money for a kriega goes.

My main issue would be that the 4 straps on each corner only seem to compress the pack rather than compressing the pack onto the seat. That's where the Kriega US system shines, you can strap it down so tight that over 12 hours and 500+ miles it ain't going anywhere. I have no concerns with 70+ litres and probably 20-25kg luggage all attached via 4 straps to the bike with the kriega system, not so much with that bag though...

Nice review though

I like how that mustang just sits there casually in the background.

No link as it's in a local shop but it's a 2012 with 12k miles, aprc pack and up for £6.7k.

Watching this video has made me want one or an rsv4

Jesus they are expensive, you tried them?

It's quite common place in any of my outdoor videos

Thanks for the comments. You're right, it's not as solid/sturdy, but for £37 I'm really quite pleased with it.

Captain · 28 Feb 2017 at 22:10

Almost identical to this except it hasn't got fugly wheels.

Just get that Tuono Clov!s, I think for once you'll keep a bike for a bit longer. That V4 thunder coming from the exhaust and front lifting up witch such an ez, surely can't get boring that quickly?

Nah. Are they a lot more than quick shifter wipes then?

Yaayuh! · 1 Mar 2017 at 08:01

Just got a roofing nail in my front tyre... Not my week. It's most definitely the builders opposite me being careless.
They also took down my phone line off of the telegraph pole yesterday.... Now I have no internet.

The rage.

Yeah, the QS wipes are £27 for 10 packs. Doesn't say how many wipes you get in that tub though.

Captain · 1 Mar 2017 at 12:25

Been on here ages now, £6k would be reasonable.

Ewwww, look at the face on that thing. You're above that Clov!s.

Lol.

The RSV is the better looker of the 2. The Tuono has an ants head

TallPaul_S · 1 Mar 2017 at 14:04

The new tuono 1100 front end is much nicer I do admit. You don't have to look at it while you're riding it though

Can anyone see any problems with me chaining my bike to the lamppost outside my house?
