[Motorcycle rucksack]

Hey guys i cant seem to find a motorcycle specific rucksack with a decent capacity. I need a rucksack to pop my gym bits in but am just finding ridiculously overpriced bags. Any recommendations or advice?

Thanx guys,

Just ordered my R6, hopefully be here next week.

I have the Kreiga R25 and to be honest I cant fault it! Its amazingly comfy, cant usually tell Im wearing it! I havent tested its waterproofing yet, but it seems like it will be OK. Seems a bit pricy at first, but i'd say its worth it.

[Who Insures you?]

I'm thinking about getting a bike more than likely and R6, but i was looking around for insurance rates and the lowest I could find was around $1100 a MONTH! is it just me or is that insane? I mean i know i'm a 20 year old single guy, but i've taken drivers safety classes for cars and bikes and never been in an accident. So my question is who are you guys insured with and what are your rates?

Bloody Hell! Over here you cant ride an R6 until your 21 anyway, so wont be able to compare directly. But I'm 22 (single guy like you) riding a FZ6 Fazer S2. My first years insurance was £700 fully comp and this years is going to be £400 fully comp. (Annual rates)

WOW! Ive just got a quote for a R6 to compare and its only £600 a year fully comp, hmmm maybe time for a new bike!

Agreed, they are doing a grand job! Especially like the on-bike experience shows they do! Bit anoying that the main highlights arent on itv player though, guessing its something to do with tv rights and stuff! Dont see why they cant still have it on the online stream though, which is a bit anoying due to the lack of tv!

really? thanks man. i tot something is wrong with it.so on high beam it just turns on the other one of the headlight rite?

Yep, pretty much!

[Car insurance?]

When i was 17 insurance TPFT cost me £1100 on a £1300 1.2 punto, which is just silly, but it meant i built up no claims and now im 22, my insurance is only £330 fully comp! (with the help of additional drivers and a family policy discount mind!) Just waiting for the same to happen ont he bike insurance, coming up to the end of my first years insurance, so hoping to get that under 500!

like someone else said, cheap doesnt exist as far as insurance for a young guy goes! just gotta stick it out until you can prove to them with your no claims really!
