Stu, thanks to you and a few others like Me and my Royal Enfield, I tackled the first service of the Interceptor. Have never done any work on a bike before and was able to set my tappets perfectly. Thank you
Thank you Stu for yet another splendid review. I can not express in words my gratitude for everything you do for the small wicked Trip Machine Project.
On your advice, I bought this bag and it just arrived about an hour ago. It is unbelievable I cannot tell you how much I like it. It’s perfect and I will be using it primarily on my triumph scrambler. The size will allow me to run a wave on weekends without any other bags, thank you very much for your review and your suggestions. Love your channel and thank you for your discount codes. I’ve used them now for several trip machine products
I like the fact that they give you four attachment straps that you can put on your bike if/when carrying a load, without fitting more permanent metal bars( that pleasure riders might only actually use maybe once every (numerous numbers) of casual journeys). Nice looking kit…
Trip Machine makes great items, have a couple. Waxed cotton, as you said, has been around forever. Used to have a long duster coat for ranch wear. So for those who have never used it don't be afraid of it's durability or price, it lasts and lasts. Great video as usual, thank you!
I got a pair of these for my Classic 350 during their Diwali sale. $170 for the pair delivered to America. They look absolutely gorgeous on the bike. Even when I am carrying one around on my back, I get a lot of compliments on the bag.
Fantastic looking and very practical kit, as always from Trip Machine. Another item for my list and obviously ideal for many uses. Bike, car and shanks's pony! I hope your new 'attack kitten' makes plenty of guest appearances too, just like your much loved Ollie Bob did 🤠
Nice piece of kit, it reminds me of the first rucksack I bought for my bike trips in the 70's from our local Army surplus store for the princely sum of 18/6d (an old English currency you'll remember Stuart) 😆 However it definitely wasn't as stylish and well finished as this one! Nice to see your little mate in the video too 🐈⬛👍.
Very nice ! Trip Machines stuff is superb , I use my small rucksack on a regular basis , I felt it looked smart enough to use as luggage for an overnight stay in a hotel recently . Goes well on a retro classic 👍🏻
Great review Stu. I can confirm the great properties of waxed cotton. When I started motorcycling , legally, on the Road in the early 70's I inherited my Dad's waxed cotton Barbour jacket and trousers which he'd had since the early 60's. It was shiny, scratched, a bit dog eared in places but never let water in and kept the wind out. Guess what? I still have them and they still work! Do you remember the Belstaff trials master suits from the 60's? Tough gear for tough conditions. Who would have thought they would become the trendy gear for the sloane rangers these days! Keep up the good work. 👍
Thanks Stu, I'll check out the link👍. My slight ocd has prevented me from using a single pannier in the past - the asymmetry makes me uneasy. But that bag looks so good I think I could actually get over it 👍. Perfect photobomb (or should that be videobomb) at 7'10 🐈☺️
All the bags and gear on Tripmachine look great. I’ve been watching all the reviews Stuart as been doing on luggage. The Rambler looks like the bag for me. So I’ve ordered one, thanks for the discount Stuart! It’s on its way, but beware of the Import duty/tax. DHL want a lot of money before delivery. I was expecting import duty/tax, but it’s very expensive!
It would look GREAT on a Enfield 350 Signal model!! Stu I really like this format of video with post comments. Beautiful editing, No wind noise and a well thought out commentary.
Stuart, that's a new look: 3:27 . Love the look of the Rambler. Also like those grip wraps. Mostly I like your way of spinning a yarn. Great review. Thanks.
Hi I use to have the throw over one set bags, but you have to take them everywhere. With your crash helmet. Nowadays I have a scooter with underseat storeage.
Another excellent video. And timely too. I’ve been considering a waxed canvass bag to replace my very long serving (and, to be fair, excellent) North Face nylon one. This looks ideal.
Excellent review of a good-looking and practical piece of kit, Stuart. Certainly far more desirable and nicer-looking than a blanco'd RAF or Army-issue large pack!
thank you uncle Stewart,as good as ever though you finally have said something I don't believe by associating the words cat and trained most reviewers get questioned by me several times a revue. this is the first with you and I have lost count of how many of your videos I have watched. I trust you are not training a dangerous attack cat all the best from roy
I have the Trip Machine handle wraps as well in the exact same color 🙌 From now I'll take pride that Uncle Stu also has one whenever I take out my bike 😁. As always, love and support from India ♥️
Thanks for sharing. My Dad had what sounds like the same rucksack as your teacher. His had a metal frame which enjoyed battering the kidneys ! Enjoyed the kitten appearance in the video. My cat always comes out to visit when I return home on the bike. In the days of pointless electronic gizmos on bikes , rain mode, cornering abs etc it’s good to see feline assist. Trip machine luggage always looks good , however I have not yet seen any panniers that appear to allow for the pillions feet on the foot rests? Have you tried the Merlin wax cotton riding gear, I cannot recommend this highly enough. Also for riders with a smaller budget or that need pillion foot space the Oxford classic wax panniers , whilst not as classy as the Trip Machine stuff , seem good from my experience.
Trip Machine make some lovely looking stuff I must admit. Good luck with the kitty, I've had enough kittens over the years to remember how much "fun" they are (and I use that word loosely 😂😉).
Another nice bag from Trip Machine a little taller than the Outlander X2 I recently purchased from them, 🤔maybe something also to consider getting. They do put a lot of thought into their products. Cheers mate
Hi Stuart, I own a new classic 350 and I am torn between the rambler and the outlander, it's primary use will be for short camping trips after reviewing both of these would you say that there is a preference of one over the other?
As I recall, the Tower Hotel was in Portinscale just outside of Keswick. I believe, but you'll need to check this, that it's now the Derwentwater Hotel.
I have a "JEEP " brand , wax'd cotton jacket that I have owned for 10 years Stewart , and yes this material Wax'd is the best , Light , water proof and long lasting , Again . Thank you Brother for another great video .
Does it fit an RE INT 650? I havent recieved a clear response from Trip Machine and would love confirmation before I order one, worried it will hit the exhaust pipes
I enjoy watching all your videos and they have helped well sort of. I’m so torn as what to get. This will be my first proper bike as I’ve only ever had lambrettas and Vespas. I like old school so the classic suits that brief but the other two are equally as nice all I know is it has to be a royal Enfield and work for someone who is vertically challenged (5ft 7in).
Vespas and Lambrettas *are* proper bikes. Anyone who tells you different isn't worth hearing. That typed, I understand. The experience on most motorcycles is different - from the stance to shifting and other aspects. It varies from bike to bike. Get the bike that makes you smile the most.
I'm just a few minutes in, and I'm reminded of wrapping my road bicycle handlebars in leather bar wrap...Not always the easiest thing! (And...how's life with the kitten?)
Stuart, You Crack me up sometimes , ,, Mr Frost, I bet his first name was Jack ,, It's a good job i was Born In leeds. Many Wont understand and Ill forgive them for that but i'm sure you Will ,,
I tried to fit the rucksack on a interceptor and it doesn't fit the bag is to long and rests on the exhaust hope that helps plus you have to pay import tax before it's delivered.
Another dangerous product placement. I have just recovered from opening my wallet to acquire a Trip Machine tool roll. Lovely products and a great presentation.
Oh the days of Belstaff jackets and troosers...I still have a Belstaff jacket I must have bought sometime in the early 90s...still going strong. These days you can buy waxedcotton jackets of decent quality for less dosh..but a Belstaff is still the best. For leather if you leave it then yes it will dry out and crack. However you can buy creams for nourishing and softening leather preventing drying our and cracking. I would not recommend the ones used for car valeting. On the internet you will find companies that sell proper leather nourishing creams and cleaning products. Just don't get one that removes the dye...! Best applied with warm fingers and leave for around 24 hours to soak in. Keeps your leather in good condition. Leather retains fats etc so these professional leather care products replace these fats etc. Once it soaks in there's no residue or anything. You're in Hull Aren't you Stuart...there's a company called the leather repair company in hull, you can buy such products from them. A pot lasts a good while as you don't need to apply it too often..just when needed. They manufacture their own products and they are very good. Nothing they don't know about leather. Fella that owns it does leather restoration work on old cars and the like...very good at it. Been in the leather repair business for a long time. Noticed the little puddy cat there...Yours I assume..? One thing I would say is I noticed his collar as if it has an ordinary buckle. These can be dangerous for cats as they can get hooked up on a branch or nail or something..with dire consequences. Also cats can get a front leg stuck through the collar..not good. Collars with quick release buckles are better as obviously if anything like this happens they just fall off. Which can cost for another one. For Identifying Puddy having him chipped is a good idea if he isn't already chipped. Doesn't cost much and puddy doesn't feel anything as it's implanted in the scruff. Some years ago I found a cat in the back yard with his left front leg stuck through his collar..he was in a pretty bad way. He'd grown and the collar had dug into his leg and neck. Anyhoo I got the collar off and him treated..and fed as he was a bit skinny. Still got him now...ruddy big teddy bear really, spends enough time sat on me shoulder like a ruddy parrot. No chip and no one claimed him..he'd obviously been lost for a while. So just wanted to make people aware of that issue. I think being aware of things is better than not being aware. One of those things you don't think about..I didn't until I found this one. He's an old lazy house cat now. Eats a lot though.
Stuart I thought you'd got all handsome and sexy in the middle of the vid, then realised, oh no,...great product, lovely kitten and of course the fabulous Stuart 😀
Stu, thanks to you and a few others like Me and my Royal Enfield, I tackled the first service of the Interceptor. Have never done any work on a bike before and was able to set my tappets perfectly.
Thank you
Thank you Stu for yet another splendid review. I can not express in words my gratitude for everything you do for the small wicked Trip Machine Project.
LOL My pleasure Sidh!
Please, Stuart. Come to Norway and put handlebar wrap on my bike. I've never seen it done with such care and expertise. Coffee and cake awaits!
Bring on the ATTACK KITTEN!! Excellent review as always! Thank you Stuart.

The Diwali sale was the week leading up to Diwali. I don't know if they do it every year but thats when I got mine.@@betomagno3018

Great bag and great example of a working pannier solution on this bike! Thank you

I have no experience with it yet but I doubt few Kilos off one side make any noticeable difference to a 200 Kg bike.
I have a similar issue. Just tell yourself it’s a counterpoint to the drive side of the bike. Chain one side. Bag the other.
@@andrewmeads6136 I like that! 👌👍
@@PhilipBallGarry 👍

Thank you Stuart, you made the bag seem very attractive. I will keep my eye open for any TripMachine gear down in Cornwall.
It would look GREAT on a Enfield 350 Signal model!! Stu I really like this format of video with post comments. Beautiful editing, No wind noise and a well thought out commentary.
Loved this, especially when the kitten made an appearance❣️
Love my Trip Machine Belts that I bought when you last had their products displayed. Arrived fast and they are high quality.
9:13 stu, thanks for tucking the cover over that bit at the back. it was killing me !
Great looking bag Stu but you will probably have to check inside for little moggie assistant before going for a ride.
Yeah, Hes a bloody nightmare!
Stuart, that's a new look: 3:27 . Love the look of the Rambler. Also like those grip wraps. Mostly I like your way of spinning a yarn. Great review. Thanks.
Hi I use to have the throw over one set bags, but you have to take them everywhere. With your crash helmet. Nowadays I have a scooter with underseat storeage.
Cheers! Ordered mine today. Can't wait for it to come 😊
Love the bag Stu. Looks great on my chrome red 350. Thanks for discount.
Another excellent video. And timely too. I’ve been considering a waxed canvass bag to replace my very long serving (and, to be fair, excellent) North Face nylon one. This looks ideal.
An attack kitten….😂😂😂😂,love your humour Stuart.
Brilliant video as always Stuart and that is a very stylish and useful bag - I like it 😃👍🏻
Hi Stu... great to see the Attack Kitten testing the bag for you... a gorgeous little mite...❤
Excellent review of a good-looking and practical piece of kit, Stuart. Certainly far more desirable and nicer-looking than a blanco'd RAF or Army-issue large pack!
THIS is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, Stu!
Great looking panier, thank you. Will I need a panier mount for my RE Classic 350 ?
thank you uncle Stewart,as good as ever though you finally have said something I don't believe by associating the words cat and trained most reviewers get questioned by me several times a revue. this is the first with you and I have lost count of how many of your videos I have watched.

Great review Stu ,always quality products from Trip Machine , cheeky discount is always welcome too 👍
Trip Machine make some lovely looking stuff I must admit.
Good luck with the kitty, I've had enough kittens over the years to remember how much "fun" they are (and I use that word loosely 😂😉).
Hi Stu that is a cracking bit of kit , good luck with the kitten , take care & ride safe
You should mount the Rambler to one side and the Outlander to the other side of the Classic 350 and show how the work using both.
Another nice bag from Trip Machine a little taller than the Outlander X2 I recently purchased from them, 🤔maybe something also to consider getting. They do put a lot of thought into their products. Cheers mate
Hi Stuart, I own a new classic 350 and I am torn between the rambler and the outlander, it's primary use will be for short camping trips after reviewing both of these would you say that there is a preference of one over the other?
Your channel is always my go to resource for my INT650. Could the Rambler be mounted on the pillion seat as a tail bag with the four mounting points?
As I recall, the Tower Hotel was in Portinscale just outside of Keswick. I believe, but you'll need to check this, that it's now the Derwentwater Hotel.
Thank You I looked it up and that does appear to be the place!
leather may succumb to UK weather he says, while wrapping his grips with............. looks lovely though.
actually, that was 4 years ago, and they are fine
I like it just as a backpack. Just like brass, leather is class.
Looks incredible!! Might save a bit for one but for another occasion
I have a "JEEP " brand , wax'd cotton jacket that I have owned for 10 years Stewart , and yes this material Wax'd is the best ,
Light , water proof and long lasting ,
Again .
Thank you Brother for another great video .
Hi Stuart...had a look at their website... outstanding quality genuine items ...now started my Christmas list lol 🤣👍
Does it fit an RE INT 650? I havent recieved a clear response from Trip Machine and would love confirmation before I order one, worried it will hit the exhaust pipes

@@RobVespa actually that is true I’ve had so much fun with the scooters, I still ride a lambretta inspired one to work perfect for London traffic.
Wonderful looking backpack. The best teachers at my school in the 70's were all bad tempered.
I think having a bad temper was part of the job description back then...
Thanks you Stu great review ill definitely be ordering one
Got a trip machine bag. Quality is impressive.
What a great looking rucksack.
👏👏👏👏 Congratulations ❗❗ another great and informative video 😁👍
I'm just a few minutes in, and I'm reminded of wrapping my road bicycle handlebars in leather bar wrap...Not always the easiest thing! (And...how's life with the kitten?)
(And...how's life with the kitten?) Very Busy!
Hello Stu. Is it possible for you to do a review on the "Benneli Imepriale 400" and maybe compare to the RE Classic? I love your channel.
Thank you Stuart, excellent review
It's all ugly black nylon or plastic panniers around here. I'm gona check Tripmachine!
a bit of a weird question, but do you reckon the throttle body for the INT650 would work in a classic 500 ?
Good show uncle Stu ps your attack kitten is cute 🤠
Great video as always Stu,but what is the name of your Kitten??,P's nice sunny day here in Thailand today,and cheap fuel still.
Dexter!
As always great info and well said !
I want one, make that two!
Hi Stuart do you know which colour way your bag is in It looks like it would match well with a classic 350 touring seat
tobacco!
Your choice of the bike clar is amazing beautiful and your hands eavre bike luking beautiful
Stuart, You Crack me up sometimes , ,, Mr Frost, I bet his first name was Jack ,, It's a good job i was Born In leeds. Many Wont understand and Ill forgive them for that but i'm sure you Will ,,
Nice one Stuart, cool looking bag.....
thank you for this, thats xmas sorted
Thanks!
LOL ah You found it! Thank You Travis!
Hey Stu ! Do you recon this bag would fit on an interceptor, or would the exhaust get in the way ? Quite hesitant between this and long ride
It should set at its highest
I tried to fit the rucksack on a interceptor and it doesn't fit the bag is to long and rests on the exhaust hope that helps plus you have to pay import tax before it's delivered.
Love the cat Stu!! ha ha
🤣
Another dangerous product placement. I have just recovered from opening my wallet to acquire a Trip Machine tool roll. Lovely products and a great presentation.
Handlebar tape? It that road bicycle model or some motorcycle specific ?

What model Royal Enfield is the yellow bike in the video? Thanks
continental gt535
Why there is no side panel bag like gt for hunter 😭
What color do you have? The cognac or brown?
Tobacco I think.
I see that like myself you've learnt that fat grips are much more comfortable for long distance riding - and to mitigate arthritis cramps 😕
nice
