Here’s a very interesting new product, from the UK, if you’re a hardened adventure bike rider. The Fuel Flask is a very sturdy lightweight aluminium container designed to hold one litre of fuel (1.5-litre also available).

Using the additional Strap Bag (not pictured), it can attach to any point on your motorcycle to relieve the worry of running out of fuel whilst ‘out in the bush’. The polymer screw cap is also claimed to be leak proof, which is nice to know.

Or, why not fill it with your favourite drink instead (after a good rinse that is), either way a very handy accessory indeed for all types of motorcyclists.

Price: R525.  Strap bag R565.    Click on www.dmd.co.za for purchase details.

Here’s a new ‘retro’ styled off-road/MX shirt, and pants, that have just attracted our attention. Fly racing is from the USA and used by many top riders, so you can guarantee these are quality-clothing items to say the least.

The pants are made from a heavy-duty anti-tear fabric with a ratchet type buckle fastening around the waist, and silicone stripes inside the waist to help retain the shirt. You’ll also see ventilation ports, internal padding, and room for knee-guards. 

All in all a very nice combination of retro/military styled off-road equipment offering something a little different.

This new MX/Off-road boot has just arrived in SA, made by Fly Racing products from the USA.

They’re made from a combination of thick leather and heavy-duty ‘plastic’ components and most certainly look sturdy enough to combat any terrain. Three ‘ski-boot’ type buckles secure the boot and the top has an elastic surround to prevent dirt and water entering. We especially like this black/dayglo yellow colour choice.

Why not complement them with a new pair of extra-thick Thor MX socks as well? One of the best things about the Maverik is the entry-level price, because boots like this can become very expensive to buy.

Price: Maverik boot R2.500 +/-  Thor MX socks R350 +/-.

Contact your local Fly/Thor dealer to purchase. Also visit www.flyracing.com for more technical details.
