The Perfect Pannier for your Modern Classic Bike?

[@ruahinesrider]

Hi Wes fellow Kiwi from up North.I have the Trip Machine Messenger bag & the quality is amazing & the leather is top quality.I got it when had Interceptor but since mounted it on my Trident 🔱 & will mount it on my T100, Speedtwin 900 or whatever I decide.I have got it wet though but it was side mounted so lot's of water flicking up & in torrential rain 🌧️ for 45mins & over the Saddle Rd going to Palmy.Inside was dry though & I hung it up ourside overnight in early Autumn & it was dry by morning.

Good to know, yes the quality on the bags are superb. Great value for money, and they enhance the look of the bike

[@TripMachine]

thank you for the review Wes. Means the world to us.

[@wesleyjames.]

You’re welcome!

Hi Wesley. Great videos m8. I've just sold my classic 500 enfield and about to trade my benelli on a new T100. If you don't mind I'm going to email two you tube bloggers in the UK and let them know about your channel and maybe give it a plug m8. Great stuff. Keep it up

[@wesleyjames.]

Hi Ian, thanks for the kind words, you won’t regret the T100 it’s a great bike!

[@ruahinesrider]

Hi Ian Hi Wes just saw your recommendation on TAYM 🦒. I watched the video before this one too WoW 😲 some great filming of the South Island I must get down there & roads look better than Hawkes Bay & saw Hwy 50 on News on Monday saying it decades behind for major upgrade.I know I live off Hwy 50 Southern end & it's shite & rough as guts especially intersection where I turn off water running under the road & they just patch it over & over.

My wife has neen looking for a bag that suites her RE Classic 350. I think this'll do the trick. THANKS!

[@wesleyjames.]

Oh man these bags were made with the Classic 350 in mind! Glad I could help ✌

[@conradclipper]

Nice review geez. Great looking bag. I’d like the cherry red I think. Classy finish.

[@wesleyjames.]

Thanks man, you should go for it, your bike will thank you for it!

[@LindsayComer-r8o]

Great Review Wesley!! I love that Outlaw Bag! Super beautiful and I have been contemplating one for the Himmy and Honda! Not sure it would fit on the Honda though, LOL!

[@wesleyjames.]

Thanks Lindsay! I think the bag would look incredible on your new Himmy, but to be honest, RE do really nice hard panniers for the Himalayan which would probably suit you better!

[@LindsayComer-r8o]

@@wesleyjames. Thanks for your input! I will look at options and see what seems right! I do like this bag for the Honda though ;-) But can't ride super far on that, LOL!

[@paulstevenconyngham7880]

Bloody excellent review mate!

[@wesleyjames.]

Cheers bruv!

[@pranavsalunkheskyhawk]

Hey James really fan of your channel I wanted to ask will they get damaged during rainy seasons

[@wesleyjames.]

Hi thanks for the support! I rode with the bag through some pretty torrential rain and it had the cover on and was fine. I’m not sure how it would be enduring consistent rain for days on end though?

[@sieskaconyngham1847]

Wow cool! Looks like it would suit girls too!

[@skymningforelsket1302]

I looked at it. $319 for a duffel bag. It's right up there with those $700 pants you can buy. I think I'll do the more "authentic" classic bike thing my "grandfather might've had" and get a $25 duffel bag and strap it onto the seat with bungee cords LOL!!! 😆

[@wesleyjames.]

Fair enough!

Do leather products coming from India need radiation/fumigation treatment coming through customs?

[@wesleyjames.]

Hi, not in N.Z they don't. I've never encountered any issues, and we have very strict biosecurity here...

[@billcarson4566]

@@wesleyjames. Thanks for replying. I'm in Oz I imagine biosecurity is similar for us also. I've always liked the trip machine stuff but it's expensive and didn't want surprise charges through customs.

[@TripMachine]

@@billcarson4566 so anything in australia under a 1000 AUD goes duty free. All our goods comply to the highest international standards and passes all tests, hence you need nothing. we also have a few austrailan retailers if you'd like to pick it up from them.

Are these easy to steal ? What if I go grocery shopping with this will a hobo come and unclip it in 2 seconds and run off with it ?
