Givi travel bag
All in one
10/26/2006
Who invented it? The Italians, of course! The »T 450 Trolley« travel bag from Givi can be used both as a trolley case and as a top case (replacement) thanks to its castors and pull-out handle. Somehow very practical. Thanks to an adapter plate, this Cordura case is compatible with the popular Monokey and Monolock systems from Givi. The packing volume of the T 450 trolley is between 48 and
64 liters and a rain cover are included, but the price has not yet been determined. Further information: in the subject-
trade or directly from Givi at www.givi.de (dealer list).
Navigation – procedure? Not possible
Navigation devices have long been a big topic among motorcyclists.
The Touratech company (phone 07728/92790, www.ttqv.de) is now offering a superlative device: the “Tablet PC Rallye” impresses at first glance with its huge, extremely bright display (8, 4-inch TFT) with convenient touchscreen operation. In addition to the usual navigation functions, this PC, housed in a splash-proof aluminum housing, guides the pilot through every corner of the world on any type of digitized map. Map fans no longer have to do without the familiar look of their sheets. Appears even on topographic maps at a scale of 1: 50000
the route covered, the way to the destination and of course the current location on the display at any time. This 1.3 kilo device also functions as a full-fledged PC (Windows XP). A CF card replaces the hard disk for tough motorcycle use. On the go, you can send e-mails or surf the net with the appropriate peripherals.
So much convenience has its price: The “Tablet PC Rallye” costs 3299 euros, a necessary vibration control-
coupled bracket for attachment
a link center strut costs another 189 euros.

Forcing the driver to his knees is simply tapped into the cooling system. For the thermoflash system (around 1200 euros), a special heat exchanger is installed on the motorcycle, which lets warm water pulsate through a tightly fitting undersuit. The water temperature is adjustable between 35 and 55 degrees. Quick-release fasteners should be used to disconnect from the system at any time.
Additional tanks – until the end of the world
BMW R 1200 GS pilots who have Siberia, the Sahara or the Australian outback on their wish lists will soon at least have to worry less about the fuel supply. The BMW specialist Wunderlich (phone 02642/97980, www.wunderlich.de) offers a conversion kit (see photo) with two ten liter tanks made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic
that are mounted on the right and left of the standard tank. A range of 700 kilometers should therefore be feasible. Price: around 1170 euros. The Touratech company (phone 07728/92790, www.touratech.de) is taking a similar, but optically somewhat less conspicuous route. The two additional tanks, on the other hand, »only« have
