minutes. The EVO rack slips into the
two side brackets and can be placed
forward or rear facing, depending on
your preference. The EVO bags just
slide on and are clipped on safely via
two strong clips. Never has a piece of
motorcycle luggage been so simple and
easy to use. The choice of either the 40
or 10 litre bags gives good versatility.
If I just want to carry my wet weather
gear, the 10L is perfect and if Alana
and I want to have a jaunt somewhere
overnight, the 40L has plenty of

SHARK RIDILL ‘SKYD’ HELMET
Laugh yourself silly
Price - $249.95

Shark helmets have always been high
quality bits of kit so when they released
the Ridill range of helmets recently

priced from $229.95

• $249.95 I thought
  I’d give one a go
  and see if the
  quality had changed
  for this much
  cheaper helmet. It
  achieved 4 out of
  5 stars in the British
  “SHARP” testing, givi
  you the reassurance th
  quality helmet at a really competitive
  price. Shark hasn't scrimped on
  features on the Ridill, either. It has a
  retractable sun visor, a fully removable
  and washable inner lining, Shark’s
  renowned optimal design for those
  who have to wear glasses, a quick
  release visor which is Pinlock ready
  and a handy micro-metric buckle (or
  ratchet type buckle, if that makes
  more sense) for quick and easy
  securing. It weighs in at 1550g which
  is average when compared to some
  of the lightweight ECE helmets
  now coming in. It is reasonably quiet
  and the venting works adequately.
  If you’re after a lower priced helmet
  with great features, check out the new
  Shark Ridill. There is a wide range of

cs available and sizing

es from XS-XL. See your

SIDI B-2 BOOTS

Two boots for two feet

Price - $379.95

Having big feet means that

arely get to sample the

latest and greatest motorcycle

boots hitting the market, but there are

some manufacturers who realise that

there are giants among us and we need

a 49 Euro which is equivalent to a size

13 AU or 14 US.

One of the excellent manufacturers

catering to the likes of me is Sidi, I

KDYHWKHLURIIURDG&URVVÀUHERRWV

and have just worn out a pair of the

road going Vertigo boots which lasted

three years of constant abuse. So when

the time came to search for a new

pair, the Sidi B-2 boots looked like the

ones to go for, I contacted the Aussie

importer, McLeod Accessories and

not long afterwards they arrived in the

mail. I didn’t break them in, which was
