As I look at it, I didn't write a single word here for a long long time.
It's because I was pretty much busy and also we travelled far more by
plane or car than by bike. But anyways there are several news.
First - Bobina got a new rack for cases. After long searching through net and asking friends I decided to build it at home. The racks available from Givi, Kappa or other producers are expensive like hell, badly engineered and of lousy quality. At least Wingrack, which twists and fits badly. My rack was built by Grešek
Wyležek and he built excellent, firm and sturdy rack for three cases with Monokey system. And so for the fragment of price of original piece we got rack of much higher quality. The components of Monokey system I bought from SW-Motech (BTW the only producer, whose racks seem very solid to me) - here
and here.
You can see the complete rack at the picture with Adélka. Then I bought three no-name cases from Poland - copies of Givi E 360N. And as I'm kind of possessed by dependability, I asked Gřešek again and he inserted stainless steel reinforcements into the cases in the place where the cases are connected with the rack. And for the top case I bought a grid. So now we are completely equipped for longed journeys. Soon there will be the right possibility to test it - we're going for round trip around Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and maybe even part of Hungary. We wanted to go for prolonged weekend at motorbikes with few friends, bud sadly it wasn't possible. Few days ago we were in Holland for few days and there was no money left for bikes. I hope we will make it next time, as the pictures from the trip look pretty cool :)
And actually there's another news - finally we bought new helmets. I've got flip chin LS2 Delta Comp@ct Titane and Katka integral LS2 Phobia. Both are excellent and for that kind of money there's no competition to them.
