Read MoreHAMMERLEDS FLEX 4 TURN SIGNALS ARE NOW ON THEIR WAY AND OUR REVIEW IS FINALLY IMMINENT
These have been a long time coming but we’re finally a few days away from receiving our review units of the HammerLEDs Flex 4 T700 replacement indicators (turn signals). In fairness, Valeriy at HammeLEDs have been communicative all along and gaining UK and European CE certification is a long and very involved process. In the meantime, the company has done a great job enhancing their website and producing and uploading instructional videos, so no complaints […]
Read MoreOVERLAND RIDER PELICASE TOP BOX WITH INTEGRATED FUEL/WATER CARRYING SYSTEM – TENERE 700
We all use our beloved bikes for different purposes. Many purchase a Tenere 700 for hard off-road riding, some for trail riding and others for their daily commute. Mine does a bit of everything but I mostly use it for touring. Some might choose other bikes for long distance hauls but I love the stance and handling of the T700 and it suits me just fine. One thing I’ve wanted to do for a while […]

Read MorePICTORIAL REVIEW/FIRST IMPRESSIONS – PREPARING FOR EUROPE – OPTIMUS POLARIS OPTIFUEL STOVE
When looking at stoves for the upcoming trip into Europe, I came across the Optimus Polaris OptiFuel Stove. Whilst attempting to research and compare it to the Primus OmniFuel II, which is a popular choice on several motorcycle camping social media groups, I found very little useful information and generally the same (poor) stock photos. As such, I’ve spent some time photographing this one properly, in the hope others will find this pictorial review useful. […]
