To celebrate this momentous annual event for bikers we sell some Isle of Man TT clothing and helmets that celebrate the iconic race. Definitely worth a look if you're a big fan of the event or know someone who is.
We know a lot of you head over to the Isle of Man for the TT and as it's usually glorious sunshine (fingers crossed for this year) you can head off on your bike on to the ferry for a great few days of fun. Or the lucky ones do. With this in mind I thought I would look at all the great luggage offers we have here at the moment at J&S Accessories Ltd online and in our 29 stores nationwide to help you head to your chocsen destination, be it the TT, Europe, The Lakes or just helping you bring a few extra items with you to work and back. Whatever your luggage need we will be able to help.
Firstly Tank Bags.

Premium: Kriega R8 Waist Pack. This is an ultra-durable enduro waist pack with removable tool roll and 100% waterproof side-pod. This is large enough to carry your tools and spares but not bulky enough to impede you. This measures: Main compartment: 165(H) x270(W) x 100(D) mm, Side-pod:165(H) x 180(W) x 100(D) mm.
Hopefully this has given you some luggage inspiration for your travels, we also sell Sat Navs to help you find your way easier too should you desire.
