I’ll be going on a little bike trip next week, and i needed a bag to carry my stuff so i got this BMW bag…its a 55 liter soft bag with a semi hard bottom.
Its water proof and can sit on the pillion seat or on the luggage rack and strapped to the bike chassis, it comes with 6 pairs of straps -different sizes-, side\top pockets, light reflectors, and a shoulder strap.
In case you need to know, i easily stuffed it with 16 t-shirts, 3 jeans, 3 shorts, 2 swimming shorts, 10 underwear’s, 3 pairs of shoes, a Flip-flop, socks, laptop, camera, chargers, toiletries, and the travel documents in the transparent upper pocket.
I like the quality of and design of the bag that i also got the smaller one -30 Liters-. (more…)
I came across this group page on Facebook, i believe the creator is girl looking for a guy that might have taken her for a ride on his Yellow bike back in 1998…or she was result of that ride .

Biaggi won both races today at Misano, he led form the middle in race one up to two thirds of the race when he decided to take the lead…in race two he managed to break away from the rest and was impossible to catch.
Race was fun, it was a fight between the titans, Biaggi 39, Corser 37, and Checa 40.
Corser on the BMW led 17 laps of race one, and gave us a nice show until he got tired.. thats when Biaggi Aprilia and Checa on the Ducati made their move.
For the 30-year-old Ania Jackowska, who travelled from Poland to Croatia, Portugal and the Middle East on two wheels, mascara is an important accessory. “I have to take care of my motorcycle, of course, but I also have to look after myself. I’m a woman and I don’t want to forget that while I am travelling,” she says. “I always take a short dress with me, too, even though I probably won’t wear it, but just to remember that I am a woman!”
Ania is a solo long-distance motorcycle rider, and went on a 10,000km journey through the Middle East in 2009, in which she explored Damascus, Jordan, Amman, Petra, Aqaba, Syria and Turkey.
“In Islamic countries, it is necessary for lone female riders to forget they are a woman and not expose their sexuality,” she says. “You can smile to other people, but you can’t giggle and laugh too much. You can be kind, but not too kind. You have to remember the cultural differences all the time in order to travel safely.” (more…)
Yesterdays’ race at Monza was the best race of the season, Max Biggi shined from start to finish in both rounds.
Biggi was unstoppable, sliding into a corner and coming out of the same corner with a wheelie….got me glued to the TV for 36 laps.
Toseland on the R1 was the motivator for Max, he pushed Biggi to the limit but then he couldn’t keep up, in race two Crutchlow’s also gave Biggi a good run but his R1 broke down later on.
The race marked the first ever World Superbike podium for BMW, Xaus posted his best ever result for the team, with a sixth place in race one, and Troy Corser came third place from 12th on the grid in race two.
It was also a great race for Tom Sykes the Kawasaki man who gave Haga a hard time, and Haga couldn’t overtake him.
