A Bagz


Testimonials 1
Rob, Milton NSW
26-09-2008

“Hi Guys,



Just wanted to let you know I just had a week away on my bike with my new A Bag and how happy I am with it. It worked out really well & fitted all my stuff quite well. I managed to fit in my tent, sleeping bag, air mat, joggers, jeans, 2 x T shirts, 2 undies, 2 x socks, toiletries, wet weathers, camera and assorted stuff. I had tried Dririder saddlebags, & they just didn't work out at all, but I'm really happy with my A Bag it sits on the bike very well & didn't move a muscle & didn’t scratch the bodywork. Good aussie product, keep up the good work.”



Rob, Milton, NSW

and again 7 years on;




“I bought the A Bag 7 years ago for my Aprillia Tuono and can fit everything I need including my tent. It’s still going strong”

“In that two weeks I travelled over 3000ks without any problems with the bag at all. With a magnetic tank bag, throw over soft panniers, and the A Bagz I could completely unload the bike within a few minutes. In the only rain I encountered there were no leaks or wet gear even though things weren't packed in plastic bags. With the influx of shit overseas products, its good to see an Aussie product stick it up em! Keep up the inventing and I'm looking forward to your next item to make an Aussie bikers life easier on the road.”

JD, 1300km from “the island”
26-09-2008

“The year before last I bought an A Bag from you at the GP. I dropped into your stand to tell you how well it performed in the staying exactly where it was put department. More was to come, after a great GP I decided to ride the 1300km home in one hit. Well it pissed with rain just about the entire trip, 1300km in 16 hours. Got home and expected to unload some seriously soggy clothes – nope – not a bit, f*^k all. That bloody bag had kept my stuff dry without any plastic bag type precautions. Give yourselves a pat on the back.

Bloody good. Many Thanks.”

Recently completed my longest road trip ever, from Albury to Darwin and back, on my T-Max. A few months ago I purchased from you several items for the trip: a lid-safe helmet bag, double ended waterproof bag, a pair of andy strapz, and a shoulder bag (bucket bag). Just wanted to let you know these items all performed perfectly under conditions ranging from rain to extreme heat. All were easy to use and all are still working perfectly now as at the start of the trip.

Thanks, Andy.

Expedition Pannierz


Testimonial
Marcus, via email
01-09-2008


Hi Andy


 Well I have just returned from the Off Centre Rally at Lorella Springs


 in the Northern Territory. Prior to going I came down to your factory


 and bought a set of your Expedition Panniers, A Bagz, Flat Stapz,


 Piggyback Strapz and a set of over gloves. All the gear was brilliant,


 hard wearing and lived up to my high expectations. I had one day when


 it poured rain all day and the panniers remained completly dry, the A


 bagz however did let some water in. The over gloves were great and


 kept my hands dry and warm. Thanks for producing such a quality


 product and even better its made here in Aus.


 Best regards Marcus



 

 
Fantastic
Marlon, Richmond
28-05-2009

I just have to drop you a note to say that you sell a fantastic product. I have a set of your panniers and they went straight over the rear of my bike. Easy to fit, practical, hard wearing and bloody waterproof.


I don't think the panniers were put on in a recommended way, but it still worked bloody well. I can't tell you how much crap I have piled in there. Astonishing really. And they really were waterproof.


Marlon, Richmond, Victoria

I was using many of your product for a while now and they're all great. Put tens of thousands on a set of Expedition panniers and they're still kicking and alive. So, thank you for the great effort! :)

Bloody Tough
Phil C
28-03-2010

As per our phone conversation please find one pannier for repair. The pannier its self is OK, I think it is just the clips that need replacing.

The damage is slight considering it (the bike) came dowm on a tar road at just over the 100kph mark with the full weight of a (BMW) GSA 1150 and rider on it.

In fact the pannier was instrumental in minimizing to both back end of the bike and rider.

Given these panniers have already endured a 8,000km outback excursion they held together remarkably well. 

One bloody tough product.

Thanks

Phil

Piggyback Strapz


Freakin' Brilliant
Jimbob, Port Campbell.
30-04-2009

Just gotta tell you that Piggy Back Strapz are freakin’ brilliant.

My bike’s left pannier doesn’t latch properly (the reason I wanted the strapz in the first place) and on a recent Road-Test the Strapz came up trumps.

Despite almost snapping my spine, when inadvertently crashing through a monster pot-hole, the pannier stayed on board (although dislodged from the keeper).

I figure I’ve now saved heaps, not having to buy a new latch OR a new pannier. Very happy with the Strapz.

Jimbob, Port Campbell

“I have found it to be exactly what I was after. It is light and very comfortable to wear. As it is light you don't realise that you have it on. It gives my son confidence in knowing that he can hold onto me and I find it reassuring knowing that he is holding onto me as well. I also tested it with a friend on the back. He found it comfortable as well, he could rest his arms on his lap while still hold on.”

I like the Pillion Beltz because it gives you more of a grip on the rider, it gives you more support and you feel safer.

The Pillion Beltz makes you feel like you are helping to steer the bike.

Rain Off Overgloves

"I bought a pair of rainoff gloves @ the Ulysses AGM in Coffs. On the way back, after a stopover in Canberra I left @ 7.30 am and it was bitterly cold. Just out side of Canberra my fingers started to freeze off and I remembered my new gloves. I quickly slipped them on and in a matter of minutes my hands started warming up. I kept them on for most of the day. Terrific gloves guys, not only for rain. Many thanks".

Tank Bagz

Chris, Sydney
26-09-2008

G'day Andy,



Further to our conversation at the Moto G.P. I thought I would give you a user's report on your Tank Bagz. I rang your office and ordered a bag, it arrived in Sydney three days later. Unusually for me, I followed the instructions and the thing fitted like a glove. For the price I could not find a comparable bag. The size was great, I can easily unclip it to take it in to a pub or restaurant. Refuelling is no problem. The little raincoat worked perfectly. After 16490 km around Australia, including more than 1000km on the dirt my tank is still unmarked. No problems at all. Thanks mate."



Chris, Sydney

Steve, Email
26-09-2008

“I decided to purchase your tank bag after checking out a few magnetic ones which wouldn't quite fit securely on my V Strom 650. Fitting it took a little bit of thought. The rear straps were fine, just used the bent metal straps under the lower lip of the tank. The front one around the steering head worked fine



The front one down around the (bulbous !!) fairing and such - I used 2 of your loops (one each side ) which looped on to the tank mounting bracket, right around and under the fairing and tank . The loops are long enough then to reach round to where I could attach one of the tank bag straps between the loop and the tank bag D rings. It looks a little untidy, but functions very well.



The whole thing was very secure (as you probably nod your head) - I was very pleasantly surprised at how secure and unmoving it was. Of course, unclipping the front buckle and swinging the bag back to re fuel works a treat as well. The zips are excellent and very easy to undo - I took a lot of photos (many while seated on the bike with helmet on) and had the camera in the bag so a quick unzip and grab the camera for a quick shot then back in and zip up - very easy.



Yes, I'm very happy with it after just one trip, 1,000km over 2 days incl 150km on dirt roads.

I also use Andy Strapz Thermalz, because they are designed by a rider and made locally. The top has a generous polo neck that helps keep my neck warm, the front is double-thickness layer (why doesn't anyone else do that?), and the back had a long flap so it doesn't untuck itselt when I'm in the racer crouch.
