Member Contributer kwb377 Posted January 7, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted January 7, 2006 Not sure if noone's thought of this before, or if I just haven't seen it. I found this at my local dealer yesterday, and it solved a dilemma I had just the other day. I was going out for a short, local ride and didn't feel like taking the tank bag for just my wallet, phone and keys...and I don't really like tucking them in my jacket pocket (especially keys...I can imagine crashing and landing on a wad of sharp, jagged pieces of metal). Triple Tree Bag: http://www.rapid-transit.com/rt/products.cfm?products_id=640 Sort of the same idea as the fork mounted tool bags on cruisers. border='0' alt='user posted image' /> border='0' alt='user posted image' /> border='0' alt='user posted image' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Hoopster Posted January 7, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted January 7, 2006 KWB, That is a good idea not to ride with keys on your person. My wifes purse came out of a backpack at freeway speeds and got run over by a car or semi-truck and when we found it her keys were destroyed. Some were broken in half, others were bent at 90 degree angles. Ever since then I've kept keys in the tankbag rather than pockets. Nice piece of luggage, thanks for sharing!

It takes just about an extra second or two to insert the key because of the angle, but otherwise it's good-to-go. :thumbsup: The gun argument is like the H-D bashing threads...some people like 'em, some don't. Doesn't do any good arguing over it in a thread here...nobody's gonna change anyone else's mind over the issue here.

The bag is not flat against the top clamp on the VFR like it was on the bike at the dealer for display...either a 'Busa or a GSXR 1k (can't remember)...the Suzuki had a much wider top clamp. Mine actually rests on the clip ons, with the straps looping under the top clamp and velcroed tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer VolatileVFR Posted January 8, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted January 8, 2006 It looks as if on Kevin's pics that with the velcro method he has pictured, the curved Upper part of the bag is spaced farther down so that it allows for the ignition space. If turned 180, I assume the flat bottom area will be shoved up and over the ignition... Or, very close to... If that doesn't make sense, maybe this will.... It looks as if the velcro straps are placed a bit forward on the bottom of the bag so that enables the curved surface to sit farther "South" on the triple... :beer: Only pics will tell..

enzed_viffer Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Well, personally, I think this is a dumb idea.

So, in conclusion, you may have a buncha stuff, BUT, do you have a six pack for when you pick up that unwanted nail in the road while you sit and wait on your ride to come pick you up, since you failed to pack your tire plug kit?? :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More enzed More!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cripes (criminy)!! I can see I'm gonna have to get a trailer. :beer: Unfortunately, my last experience of towing a trailer was not good. Way back when I was a professional sheep shagger (and therefore an honorary Australian), I used to work on a farm. Of course I rode about the only Honda there - a crappy XL125S, fitted with a tow-hitch. But the damned sheep conspired to run to the back of the trailer unless you hog-tied them (or is that "sheep-tied"??). Then of course it was either massive wheelies (complete with sitting on the tank to keep the front tyre on the ground), or massive wheelspin as the back wheel floated just above Mother Earth. I much prefered to tow the dead sheeep: a bit of baling twine around a hock, then tow them sans trailer. Most of the time you arrived at The Hole with most of the sheep... :goofy: As for the tyre fragments - at a pinch I can just scrape them off the road, or from the underside of the back fender. Then I use the HandyDandyBlowtorchFeature which bypasses raw gas into the rear headers to heat them into InstantTyreGoop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
