Backpacks...

[Juvenilerider]

Does anyone know of a decent backpack I can wear other my leathers without it acting like a sail?

Preferably something a bit weather proof and something that won't give me too much grief with that hump on my leathers.

Cheers

micky was talking about one with a back protector in which i'm gonna check out :reading

not sure how a rucksack will work with a hump tho......

and the waterporrf thing? unless you spend a lot, in my humble experience you are best off using a liner specially costructed from a tesco bag :grin2

Kriega are the dogs danglies but expensive, the Knox one you can pick up for around £30 and works well for the money and is comfortable too :)

You might want to have a look for the Alpinestars ones too they seem to be okay :)

Theres some nice Alpinestars ones on ebay, I've been watching them for a while though and they all end up at £30+, seems a bit OTT for a backpack.

[harriebird]

i hate paying alpinestars prices for a little star though! eee i'm getting stingy in my old age.....

Cheers everyone, I just bought the knox one.

Sam, that particular one i will bring with me to the pub so you can try it on, although mine is wrecked now anyway, or if you ask the Guvnor nicely he might let you try his on over the leathers as he has one too ;)

[harriebird]

can i try it on too please xxx

Thankyou very much :) While you're at it, I was considering buying some kind of Mille'esque bike, so if I could just try that on for size aswell? :D

Unfortunately not mine is hidden away in Kilburn undergoing some changes :)

[Juvenilerider]

Some brilliant changes?

[harriebird]

is it going to become Millina instead :eek: ;)

[Juvenilerider]

oohh ohhh are you going to gear it down for acceleration and put carbon wheels on it?!

[Lateshift]

Well as far as brilliant goes i suppose that will remain to be seen, i am sure after leaving it with Southern Cross they will work their magic and sort it out for me :)

And as for Millina? certainly not, its an italian V Twin, how cna you give it a chicks name? if it was going to be called anything it would be Brutus :D

Millina? How very dare you! :D

[Lateshift]

oohh ohhh are you going to gear it down for acceleration and put carbon wheels on it?!

Yeah i wish! :D

Although it is getting a gearing change, so you assume correctly ;)

[Juvenilerider]

Get yourself off to Makro.

Loads of cheap luggage.

I bought one 8 months ago. Bit bigger than I wanted, my fault, but totally waterproof so far - Colchester to London and back daily and has one of them pull out handles so you can cripple the tourists when dragging the daft moggy behind you.

Mine was £16 and they have loads of smaller models down to £9

Sod the brandnames, get something that works for less bucks.

my bag was a hand me down, but the zip keeps breaking and i keep loosing items of clothing out the back.

i think its time to invest in a nice NEW bag lol
