Anyone tried these? Are they any good? They look awesome.

I would also like to know if this place is trustworthy:

Axio makes great bags. I recommend the Swift instead. It's designed from the start to be a motorcycle bag, and it also holds a little bit more. The little hump on the back is an extra small compartment.

In my recent crash I slid down the tarmac on it. VERY happy with the results. My laptop and all the other electronic gadgets us modern males require came through without a single problem. In addition I'm pretty sure it saved me from any kind of back injury.

The bag? Scratched up but still quite serviceable! It's actually in better shape than my helmet was.



Highly recommended.

Check out http://www.axio-usa.com/ for a list of distributors. Even one in Finland for you. How cool is that?

edit: also, check out their new matching tank and tail bags at the same web site.

I think I'll screw the local distributors this time. They charge over 180euros for the forza. That's over 230dollars.

Brought the swift after reading about crashmasterd's post when it happen way back.. highly recommend it as well. The backpack is very comfortable, and fits snuggly against my back. I brought it off ebay, and the guy was also very helpful in matching the price on a few accessories I wanted with the bag, and combined the free shipping too.
