    Got a triumph backpack when I bought my bike, kinda hidden is a zipper in the bottom. I opened it up and it appears it might be a helmet holder bag attached inside but not quite sure what it is for. Anybody else tried to use this bag thingy?

    Of BTW that backpack will indeed hold 30 cans of beer, but not much else:yum

    I got a Triumph backpack when I bought my 2019 Speed Triple. Finally just used it recently to bring a whole shiteload of files home from my job to work on at home. I didn't know about the secret hidden compartment. I shall check it out tomorrow. If it's the same backpack, @Old dumb arse (the member formerly known as Old phart phred).

    It’s a rain cover for the backpack. Attached at the bottom, it stretched over the zips.:D
    Haven’t needed it, but seldom use a backpack :cool:

    I thought it was a rain cover for the back pack?

    I got this backpack too with folder and key ring included. Was a pleasant surprise and a really nice touch when I collected my brand new Triumph a couple of weeks ago!

    Yes it is a rain cover, tried and tested in the UK. Where we get a lot of the stuff.

    About once every three weeks, for a couple of hours it pours down. We get a lot of hail and some tornadoes. And man made earthquakes

    Oh great if we can stretch it out another two weeks with no rain, we might be able to convince people we live in Kansas. Would fraking constitute as an earthquake ? :blush:

    Fracking is the cause of the earthquakes, but lawsuits have reduced them

    Be better if the company spent a bit more time on QC rather than give crap away as a gift.

    I agree on the quality issues mate, but I don't think the back pack and folder will have a big impact on budgets to help improve the quality of their bikes and the cost for these are in the price of the bike anyway. You don't get anything for nothing......

    Mine has been a god send as my old back pack of 15 years was giving up the ghost so I used mine almost daily. Sprayed the cover with water repellent which seems to do the trick.

    Pedro, I’ll swap it for that piece of Italian junk you’ve got.

    You know that Red Moto Morini ;):)
