I went down to MotoLiberty this evening to look for a tank bag for the Beemer. I did find one, a nice black Cortech Mini. It’s got everything I needed, including a non-magnetic mounting system for a bike with no ferrous metal in the gas tank or fairings.

After that I decided to look at helmets and jackets. Thanks to some great help and advice from the staff I came home with a Dainese Air-flux tex jacket and an Arai Vector helmet.

The jacket is amazingly light and comfortable, even with the spine armor in it. And best of all it’s got pockets all over the place.

The helmet is nice and comfy with great air flow for hot Texas days so we’ll see how they perform on the Houston ride…
