Posted
by
Tested by: John Milbank RRP: £33.98 More info: www.kappamoto.com | 01327 706980 I’d needed a way of carrying my GoPro and Drift camera kit on press launches, but didn’t want to lug a rucksack with me as we constantly stop for photoshoots. The Kappa RA306 is perfect – featuring five zipped pockets, I can cram suction…

Maybe I’m getting older, but I’m pretty sure it’s got more to do with my four-year-old daughter: I’m a much more careful rider these days. Now don’t get me wrong, that doesn’t mean I don’t still have fun. At Cadwell Park on a Focused Events track day the other week, all I wanted to…

Sounds crazy, but all the features that make this bag suitable for motorcycling in my opinion, work against it…

Posted
by
Reviewed by: Bruce Wilson for 2000 miles RRP: £105 It’s rare I go a day without lugging a rucksack around, which explains why I’ve got through so many over the years. But none of them have proved quite as well thought out as BMW’s Function 3. When I first got the bag, I had no idea of…
