MotoPressor MINI PUMP V2 tested and reviewed

I had a young mechanic friend, David Nash, (future step-son) give this new Mini Pump a run through as he has 2 very different H-D bikes and this is what he told me.

Secure it with ZIPPYLOK

 

A lot of you have got a 'HELMETLOK' from Rocky Creek Designs, or, you've probably seen the combination lockable carabiner used by another biker to secure their helmet to a bike. Well, the same people who designed that item, have a new gadget for doing a similar job. 

Enter the ZIPPYLOK, which, for all intents and purposes, looks like a fancy Zip Tie. That said, you could probably use it for many similar functions. : It consists of an adjustable (stainless?) steel strap, 450mm long and 10mm wide, contained in a tough flexible rubber/plastic scratch-resistant covering. This allows you to lock your helmet or other motorbike related item securely to your bike without scratching your steed's paintwork. It can loop as small as 40mm x 70mm or as large as 140mm in diameter. The strap can easily thread through a helmet strap 'D' shackle.

There is no doubt a multitude of uses for this lightweight, durable and lockable device. I'm informed that it is water-resistant and won't corrode, and can be left in place on your bike rack or grab rail when not actually employed in locking a valuable. The 3 digit combination is resettable to any 3 numbers you find easy to remember.

The good thing about it is the price because at $39.95 you can get a few of them and the security possibilities are endless.

I'm carrying mine around on a belt loop or in my jacket pocket, it's brilliant!

Biggles may not have ridden a Harley-Davidson, or any motorcycle for that matter, but that shouldn't stop you from channelling the famous fictional air ace with these magnificent hand-made goggles from Ugly Fish. The Aviator series are a premium item from the famous Australian eyewear company and are a perfect companion to any classic, cafe or retro-styled motorcycle.

"These superb heritage-styled goggles are hand-made for us in Italy," says Faraz Darabi, CEO of Piranha Eyewear, the creators of Ugly Fish glasses, "and you won't find these just anywhere. These are limited to our higher-end stores and customers."

The frames are powder-coated and finished with a hand-stitched, soft leather face mask. The head strap offers enough flexibility to wear under or over an open-faced helmet and feature silicon non-slip strips on the underside to prevent the goggles from moving.

The Aviator series lenses are made from tough polycarbonate material and are designed to protect your eyes from harmful elements. You can also have a prescription lens fitted with an RX gasket (available separately).

Be sure to try them on next time you're at any Harley-Heaven dealer or AMX Superstore.

The Ugly Fish Aviator Goggle R101 has an RRP of $199.95
