For over 35 years thousands of London motorcycle despatch riders have used
these bags for work
but they have only been available if you work as a motorcycle courier. . .
.
Until now . . . as they are available to buy from Hi-Star.
Based on the original 1700's pony express leather despatch bag that was
used to despatch letters from London to York and other citys on horseback.

The bags are light weight but are made from heavy duty vinyl with a generous
adustable shoulderstrap. Velcro secures the outer flap to shut the bag. The
bag is stitched together using heavy duty thread so it very strong. The bag
can also be easily folded up so it can be tucked away it can fit under a jacket
etc...
There are many uses for this bag but its great just as a shopping bag as you
can get two supermarket bags in it. Forget the supermarkets "bag for
life" promotion...this bag really will last a lifetime. Two or even three
leather jackets can easily fit inside and LP records, samples of merchandise
and even motorcycle spares can all be carried around in this large bag.
An A1 porfolio case will go in length ways but will stick out but it can
still be carried while riding a motorcycle, scooter or bicycle or if you just
want to walk.
With a full heavy bag load while riding a motorcycle, you can turn the bag
so it is in front of you where it will rest on the petrol tank so you can
lean against it. I have done this many times while riding my Triumph and it
really is easy to ride while going fast (legally) even on motorways. The bag
can also be pulled round so it is behind you as it will rest on the seat and
it will stay there and not slip off. The adjustable strap enables the bag
to be kept in place.
Much better then a fussy rucksack and it can be slipped off in moments.
Thousands of cyclists over the years will all agree how these bags are the
best in carrying heavy loads without any strain.
