Posted on 05.6.2009 17:28 by Maxx Biker Filed under: Triumph | supersports | Triumph Daytona | industry news | limited edition Because we know what state of mind this special edition 2009 Triumph Daytona 675 induces, we'll resume to saying that only 350 examples will be sold in the US while Europe is sure to get a greater number as it has first been announced for sale on the old continent. White painted and built on a blue frame, this bike here is a great example of the exquisite British taste. Hell, it's even better than the Italian one, if you ask me, as it addresses to the average buyer and starts at $9,999.

There was a time when as a woman if you wanted biking gear you ended up getting mens clothes in small sizes. Thankfully those days are long gone and we live in a world where bike clothing manufacturers have realised that women deserve good quality kit just as much as the boys do.

Zuru Link Straps - The New Bungee?
Posted on 05. May, 2009 by admin.
My first thought when I saw these straps was "they look interesting but I'm not to sure about that colour", then on further inspection it was clear a fair bit of thought had gone into producing an innovative alternative form of tie-down straps. Could they replace the ubiquitous bungee strap? Looking eye-catching and promising no more painful twanging or scratched panels sounds good but how well they actually work is the most important thing.
