Calling all newbies and interested parties. Thinking of a lightweight, entry level motorcycle for your first ride?
Read my review of the Symba 100 on SFMoto's Blog.
Another review in the queue.. Kriega
Last weekend I went on another 3 day riding weekend. Only logged 600 miles (rode 2 out of 3 days) but I loved how these performed.
Sadly it was 100 degrees so I couldn't test the waterproof nature of these Kriega packs but I absolutely love how they are interchangeable and stackable with one another. I'm trying to get away from saddlebag systems just so have the lowest profile setup on my bike. The setup above has a total capacity of 40 Liters. I only filled them 2/3 of the way and am confident that I could easily fill them up for a 4-5 day trip.
If you're a sportbike / naked bike enthusiast, then you know how difficult luggage can be. Kriega's ingenious system allows their bags to fit on pretty much any bike, even if you don't have mount points!
Stay tuned for a full review.
(I've been practicing packing lighter and lighter so that's probably also why I'm able to conserve so much space)

Wearable Technology.
What an interesting idea! Fashionable, wearable technology that also provides a safety element.
Everything motorcyclists are searching for, right? Well, not that I'd run around town in a little black dress with an LED belt. Ok maybe, but underneath my leathers. Check out this kickstarter by Anders Nelson. He's hoping to raise enough money to produce these. Other options include patches that you can stick on anything.
