Hommiesafe Seat Cushion

Pompey Learninated0 Comments

Hommiesafe Air or Water Motorcycle Seat Cushion. This is a relatively new item I have purchased but I have put it through it passes quickly due to a planned ride. Over 600 miles on a trip with this and yep I am going to say it does work. I knew I had a longer ride than normal planned, and after 200+ miles on my bike the seat does start to get that backside in a numb state, so knowing this I headed off to look for a air cushion for my bike and there is rather a large range, from …

Tank lock bag

Pompey Learninated0 Comments

AliExpress tank lock ring and bag. I have been after a decent tank lock bag for a while, looked and even ordered one from a local stockist of the SW motech which was £150, but plans did not work out. I since then order a cheap clone of the GIVI Tank lock system for mine from aliexpress and damn its amazing, great quality, very well made, and just badged with a different brand logo, in fact I would swear this was a Givi system and made in the same place just re branded. I paid just over £45 all in …

Vastar Portable Air Compressor

Vastar Portable Air Compressor internal battery pack. I have been using a old 12v cigarette lighter powered compressor for a while and its been ok, but having to keep unwrapping the power lead and have a power unit to plug it into is a real pain, and let’s face it these older style units are also rather bulky, so that’s where this Vastar Portable Air Compressor comes into its own, it’s a tiny self contained unit thats has a rechargeable battery back that can inflate 6-8 tyres before needing to be recharged again, it also comes with everything you need …

Cardo Upgraded Speakers

Pompey Learninated0 Comments

Cardo UK Systems Upgraded 45MM audio speakers (JBL). Being a lover of my music quality i do enjoy a decent set of speakers. The stock speakers that came with my Cardo UK Packtalk Bold I purchased (Review link below) are pretty damn good, they boast some real quality but they don’t have what i would call that real quality for music listening, now don’t get me wrong they work amazing as stock but they are more geared I would say to being an intercom speaker, which allows better quality from the voice range, and that does show a little when …

Oxford Panniers

Oxford Products Ltd Sports Lifetime Panniers. Now i have had these a good while but only used them the once but dragging them out for a possible use on a second long run I thought best do a little review on them. Let’s start with i purchased these myself second hand, as they were something I needed for a possible camping series but never happened but I kept these for future times, and let’s face it they pretty much can fit any bike due to the strap system that goes over and under the seat to hold them on, and …

Grip Puppies

Grip Puppies Handle Bar Covers. Since owning my Vstrom and with it being a V-Twin it’s has that lovely low down torque but with it is the natural vibration, and with using my amazing Oxford Products Ltd Heated grips on it i always added some thick foam grips on top which have worked great…. Now with the Mrs now having a Twin too (Honda CB500X) she noticed that Vibe too which did annoy her, so i recommended moving to the Grip Puppies original ones as they are more well made compared to my cheap £2.99 foam grips which were fat. …

RST Freestyle 2 Gloves

Pompey Learninated0 Comments

RST Freestyle 2 Gloves. Now i have been using these gloves from RST for a good couple of weeks and I going to say that I think I have made the right choice. I am so impressed with how comfy they become, (yes not to start with as they were new and very rigid), they also have loads of protection but not at the cost of keeping you cool during this heat still, which was the reason I wanted them. The armor side is amazing, and I can see these lasting a long time, the one area I specially wanted …

RST Tractech Evo 3

RST Tractech 2101 Evo 3 Sport Boots. I am not one for dedicated gear/clothing normally but with work as a motorcycle CBT trainee instructor now I felt it was time to up my game and get with the gear more on clothing. I do have a set of dedicated winter boots being fully waterproof, and with summer being here and my current boots are just not breathable I have decided to purchase a new pair, and as one does one searches which ends up with thousands off adverts popping up on websites now all boot related. This time though it …

BlinkerPro Module

Pompey Learninated2 Comments

Blinkerpro X Module, Indicator Alert System. One of the things that happen a lot on the roads on motorcycles is riders forgetting to cancel their indicators once they made their turning, and unlike cars we do not have self cancelling ones. It’s something I come across a lot when I did CBT training and it’s something that can be highly dangerous if left on and that is where Blinkerpro and its Module comes into effect. Their module is a simple to install complete warning system that you wire to your bike via just 4 wires, and then you can pair …

Barkbusters Handguards

Barkbusters VPS Handguards with deflectors. I owned these for a good amount of time now, and brought them to give some protection to my levers (review due on these too) and also my hands from road debris. Now being bike specific they are really easy to install and took about 15-20 minutes to install, unlike many universal style ones which I have also tried now. You can buy also different style guards itself to add to these, I believe the ones I am using are the called VPS and I also added the extra additional section to add more height …
