Which bag should I go for? Anybody has the Euro-Rally (£110)? Shall I get a storm cover for it (£20)? Is there a place I could see the bags (Yorkshire / Sheffield)? Honda CBR 1000RR Fireblade - All Models motorcycle luggage pack | Ventura MCA
i have the spada 51 litre bag and storm cover ,if you want to have a look at it to get an idea of size , i am half a mile off junction 27 m62. leeds/ bradford turn off.
I've got the Aero Spada on mine, and the Aero Delta that will zip to it - a good combination. Aero Spada is good but the side pockets are a weird shape and not that usable. I don't bother with the storm cover, just pack everything in plastic bags.
Storm cover a pain to use - esp if you put stuff in the side and front pocket - I line mine with a huge plastic bag - then organise contents in other plastic bags to be 100% of dry and sorted kit. Be aware that the base gets soaking / filthy if you hit bad weather then arrive at the hotel and you put on carpet / floor etc...
Spada and aero delta zipped and was perfect for IOM trip last yr.... Storm cover was fiddly but I found it ok....
Hi, I have got the lot... Euro-Rallye, Aero Spada VII and Aero Delta VII expandable. I think that the Euro is best because it is narrower and doesn't appear in your mirrors (so no danger of not spotting any flashing blue lights behind...). I have used this for European trips and will be using it when I follow the Ride magazine 1500 miles tour route around Scotland next month (hotels already booked - I can't wait) However, for camping I intend to use (for the first time ever) the Aero combination as it allows you to carry a huge amount of stuff, including my as yet unused tent! Just to really annoy everyone - I bought the Aero Spada and Expandable Aero Delta from Hein Gericke UK when it went bust at the start of 2012 and paid £80 for the pair (including postage). Kicked myself ever since - should have bought all their Ventura stock and made a killing reselling on EBay in the summer months....
