During a fun telephone conversation with Martin LeBreton of AltRider, he mentioned a product I was wasn’t aware of. Namely, their Clutch Arm Extension kit. After he explained how it worked my interest was tweaked and I agreed to install and review one. These were initially designed to give added clutch control off-road and listening to others who’ve used them, they seem to do exactly that. But that wasn’t really what interested me as I currently […]

Many people doubted this project but I’ve built many systems like this for overland travel on a bike over the last 35 years and they’ve all worked beautifully. The only thing missing (and this is something I’d not done before) was illumination. I often pull into a campsite quite late and by the time I’ve setup camp it’s either dark or getting dark. I have the REDVERZ ATACAMA 2 EXPEDITION MOTORCYCLE TENT and, as such, the […]

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 […]

I absolutely love watching this build take place. Apart from the fact Thomas’ humour fits well with my own, which makes watching these vids a lot of fun, I’m fascinated that someone has the cajones to rip apart a new bike and virtually redesign it from the ground up! And the new design seems to work remarkably well, too! Be sure to give Thomas a like and a sub! If anyone deserves, he does! SUBSCRIBE […]

Unboxing & First Impressions After the maths that compared the cost of these Moto-Teks to the 5 times more expensive Rottweiler Arrow kit, I came across a video by Nomad Sweden. He had purchased a kit from the Netherlands costing 170 Euros ($185 USD or £150 GBP). With shipping and import tax to the UK, you’d once again be around £220-250 GBP. Now take a look at the video from the 3 minute mark: It […]

A plethora of riders have done this before so give me zero credit for this modification. In fact, a member of a forum I’m part of posted something very similar just a few days ago and that post inspired me to do this. A few years ago I purchased 3 MAX PELI style cases and they were and are brilliant. I’ve owned a few actual PELI cases and these MAX cases are just as good at […]

OK, I admit, I was very sceptical to these Cool Covers when someone told me he’d put them on his T700 oak plank seat and found the seat to now be rather comfortable. I didn’t take his advice and instead made a modified Sheepie. The Grenadier Butt Guard, as I named it, was (and is) very good, helped a lot and I was quite happy with it. Roll forward a few months and I needed […]
