Okay so today I went to the local Beeline yamaha stealership to pick up a filter, and while I was there I was talking to Dani(the owner) and an associate there and they commented on how windy it was today and I was out riding. While we were talking about it I got to thinking hey I wonder if they make any better backpacks then the one I was using. Well Turns out I found a pretty amazing backpack. Its listed for $200, and I was able to talk Dani the owner down to $75 because he said hes had it for a while and just doesnt have enough sport riders in the area to sell it :steve::steve::steve:
STEAL OF A DEAL!!!!!!!!!
Ratings out of 5:
Comfort: 4.5(hard to tilt your head back without preadjusting bag position probably my fault so without that its a 5.0)
Weight: 5
Aerodynamics: 5+++++
Functionality: 5
When I put it on I adjusted it standing up, It felt amazing I had 3 quarts of oil, an oil filter, filter wrench cap, My old backpack, pack of cigarettes, and my water bottle in it with tons more room. When it was on my back it didnt feel bulky at all. Now when I got on immediately I realised I wasnt adjusted for tucking to have my head tilted up, So at the next light I adjusted it as I sat in a tucked position. Here is the BEST part...My old backpack felt like in the wind would rip me around....I was travveling on the Interstate at 80+ mph in 30 mph cross winds...I even hit 108mph just to test it at high speed and NOT ONCE did I feel the wind against my back or shifting the pack, in fact it added to the aerodynamics of the tuck, it was unbelievable. Not even joking.
Here are some pictures of the pack. Now my bike is yellow...the pack is blue....but I couldnt pass up the deal. Prolly look weird having a yellow bike and a blue bag but Like I said The bag is INSANE how much it improved ride comfort in the wind.
