Here is a shot of your product on my bike. Bike is a 2006 Kawasaki ZX-14, and the product is the TankLocker. I am very satisfied with your product and plan to order the commuter bag and the camera mount! Thanks and I look forward to doing business with you in the future and seeing my bike "modeling" the TankLocker!

Dear
Les :
I
got the bag. I put it on right away and went
for a ride. It held everything I wanted,fit
great and looked good too. This is the second
bag I have gotten from you and again I'm very
happy.
Sincerely,
Marty

I hope you
do not get tired of hearing this....
What a cool, cool,
idea. I have a Triumph Daytona (03) with a "plastic"
tank and am just sick of straps that take a
good thirty
minutes to install. These same straps then scuff
the heck out of your tank and I wind up spending
xtra $ on protective
film that I never get on just right. Oh, and
the Triumph bag also cost 150.00. This may be
the most elemental "no-brainer" of
all time. I
will be placing my order first thing tomorrow
morning. Thanks, I envy the hell out of you....
Good luck

Hi
Leslie.
Here are the pictures I told you I would send.
I like this bag a lot. Prior to ordering, I
didn't think I was going to like it. I thought
the bag would be too small, but to my surprise
there is plenty of room and then some. Everything
I need to take to work fits in the bag. The
best part is that it attaches to the seat and
I don't have to mess with bungy cords any more.
This is one hell of a bag. Awesome job.
Thanks,
Ruben H. Elenez

Awesome!
That's all I can think of right now... I got
the Zip Pak and Tanklocker (in black and red
) today for my 03 R6 in the mail. Installed
in about 5 minutes and it looks great. I enclosed
some pictures for you. The bike is not stock
for customer reference (aftermarket exhaust,
bar ends, directionals and lights). All that
should make no difference to the use of your
products.
I'll
be submitting my rider rep form today! Thanks
again, phil g

Hi,
I recently got an Elite Seak Sak for my Z1000
and wanted to say I am very happy with it. ......
Finally, someone made a good quality tail bag
without using bungees. I know a lot of Z1000
riders that would like a bag like this that
doesn't scratch their tail section paint job.
I have attached a pic of my Z1000 in case you
would like one for the website (I hesitated
for awhile in buying the bag b/c I couldn't
find a pic of the finished product installed
on a Z1000 on the website). Best of luck with
your business!
Thank
you, Brian White.

I
picked up my "Elite zip pack" for
my R1 yesterday from my friend in L.A. I must
say that I am impressed. It’s "perfect"
and exactly what I was looking for. In a word,
you have answered my dreams! I like your style
and your attitude towards your luggage and your
marketing. I can't see any reason why a sport
bike owner with a bike that has a removable
rear seat "would NOT want to buy your product"!!!
I’m a believer in your product, so let’s
see if we can get more interest in the UK. The
price is spot on too...

"The
bag arrived today and I am VERY impressed. I've
done a lot of machining through the years and
this is a first class unit. If you are able,
send me some business cards or literature for
distribution at rallys. One thing more. What
about a rain cover? Thanks again, P. S. I'll
get a photo out when it stops raining here."

"…Thank
you so much for getting my Rocket Locker to
me in time for Brainard! I am really impressed
with the quality so far. I almost won't need
my tank bag because this thing is so big! At
this point, I will have NO problem recommending
your product to my fellow sportbike riders.
Again thanks!!

bag performed excellently, and all in all, I
am quite pleased with it. The fitment was very

that there was plenty of room for a trip of

essentials". Congratulations to you for
developing a superior and useful product."

"…Had
a chance to put the bag to the real test this
weekend. Took off for an overnighter and was
pleased with the capacity of the bag. Was able
to pack my tool bag, Plexus, chain wax, two
cleaning cloths, tire gauge, shave kit, pair
of jeans, 2 casual shirts, swim trunks, bicycle
shorts, bicycle shirt (bike clothes work well
for hot weather under the Aerostitch), one ski
fleece vest, one ski fleece jacket, and some
other misc. stuff. Had plenty of room. The real
test was the weather, it was miserable. As you
can tell from the list of clothing we were expecting
both warm and cold weather. Well we got cold
and wet weather exclusively. I can report nothing
in the bag got wet, or even had a hint of dampness.
Real impressive considering the amount of rain
we rode in. It was also very windy and the combination
of wet and wind had everyone but me re-securing
their soft luggage. The Luggage Locker never
even hinted at coming loose even in those adverse
conditions. Best tailbag on the market, period."

Hi
there,
To start, I'll have you know that I am not a
'bag' person when it comes to motorcycles. I
don't like straps flapping every which way,
the thought of bungies under pressure on my
bike's tail gives me the willies, and magnetic
bags don't appeal to me (visions of scratched
paint come to mind). However, when planning
a week in Kauai, I knew I needed a bag to hold
all my gear. It may seem rather odd to pack
a motorcycle bag for a trip for a remote volcanic
island some 2000+ miles away...but I can explain.
See, I live in San Jose, and my girlfriend lives
in Los Angeles. We were going to leave from
L.A., simple enough, but I wanted to be on my
motorcycle for an event happening immediately
following my return, the second annual SoCalSVRiders.com
meet ominously dubbed, 'The Gathering', held
in southern California.
So
I rush-ordered one black Elite Zip Pak and
you went the extra mile to get it out to me
by Saturday. I packed everything I needed
for Kauai, intending on using this bag as
carry-on luggage on the airplane...but first,
I was going to ride 360 miles down to L.A.
The bag held everything I needed (and more)....reef
shoes, hiking shoes, two sweaters, long pants,
two pair of shorts, a couple shirts, and essential
toiletries I couldn't buy or get from a hotel,
cell phone and charger and a sketchpad and
markers. That's just what I can remember.
The bag was packed to the gills and I mounted
it on the bike with ease..the baseplate idea
is really a stroke of genius, and I love how
stable everything was....the whole ride down,
the bag was totally stable, and the weight
was trivial. The bike handled great and best
of all, I didn't have to wear a backpack or
worry about straps flapping all over the place,
scratching the paint or worse, getting caught
in a wheel (and this has happened to a friend
of mine with another, strap-based bag).
I
arrived in L.A., and it was so cool just to
be able to unzip the bag and be off. On the
plane, the bag fit well enough under the seat
in front of me to qualify as a carry on, much
to my delight. I was slightly worried I'd
have to check it in, but nope, it fit great...even
better in first class. ;)
I
found that I had more than I needed for a
week in Kauai (I didn't use the sketchpad
or the big warm sweater I brought). It was
also great to be able to buy a few magazines
at a store when I got back and throw them
in the bag...that's something I couldn't do
before unless I donned the backpack, planning
to buy something. With the Elite Zip Pak,
impetuous purchases are well rewarded with
tons of space...and it's awesome to be able
to throw a full face helmet in there. I found
my leather jacket fits quite nicely as well.
In
any event, I think this was a great idea,
and I'm proud to own a bag that has shown
me that practicality need not come with straps
or magnets. ;) It doesn't look too bad either.
Thanks
a lot!

Leslie,
The
TankLocker is great! I was initially concerned
about off-roading with it on, but it held up
great on some very bumpy fire-roads, with a
significant load, this last weekend. It also
looks impeccable on the VStrom. I love the quick
on and quick off. One question: How do I secure
the bottom zipper (the one that secures the
bag to the mounting plate)? I don’t understand
how to lock that to the plate to make the bag
totally lock to the bike.

Dear
Leslie,
I spoke to you on wednesday about the seat sak
I ordered for my VFR. I wanted to let you know
that it arrived on friday and I am very happy
with it. I am impressed with the quality of
your product. I realize that Rocket Locker is
a small company trying to compete with some
major players and I wish you the best of luck.
I look forward to taking a road trip and trying
out my new luggage.
Sincerly,
Jeremy

Look for me on page 75 of the September Cycle
World.

Les,
I got the bag on Thursday as promised, and was
pleased to see the high quality of construction.
It held enough stuff for a weekend trip from
Mpls to La Crosse WI for some back road riding.

Thought
I would let you know I am very happy with the
bag and had a great trip. I was able to carry
all the necessities to get me through a week
on the road. It stayed on though for over 1800
miles and plenty of twisties.

Hi

it's off down to Italy this weekend for a week.
My friends are impressed too.

Just
wanted to let you know that I received my Elite
Zip Pak tail bag for my SV650S today. The bag
has exceeded all of my expectations and I'm
sure it will serve me well. I can't wait to
get home this evening and attach it to the bike.
Thanks!

"Leslie,
I just wanted to let you know that the tank
locker has really expanded the capabilities
of my Hayabusa. As a school administrator I
carry a computer and a planner everywhere I
go. Now, I unzip my aerostich suit and just
walk in with my tank locker bag. Keep me posted
on your incentive program for selling your product.
About 2500 high school age students look at
it on a daily basis.

"This
is my second bag and I hope it’s as tuff
as the first one. My first bag was on my 2001
GSX-R1000 when I left the road to avoid a deer.
The bike high-sided and did an end-for-ender
three times. The bike was totaled. I was pissed,
and the Rocket Locker and all the contents were
virtually unharmed. This included a Nikon digital
camera. These bags are more than tuff; they’re
bullet-proof!"

"…Upon
unpacking the bag I was more than impressed!
What a fantastic solution to a problem which
at the least is a hassle of straps, constant
on the road re-fittings, damaged paint work
and at the worst can result in a crash. A big
THANKS for thinking this up and bringing it
to market. I can't say enough about how well
I think this product works."

"…I
was quite impressed with the Rocket Locker.
I had it packed to capacity. I carried 3 days
worth of clothes, lavatory bag, camera, extra
face shield, cell phone (nice touch on the inner
pockets), rain suit, other small misc. items.
It was nice that I could zip the pack off the
bike and not have to worry about securing it.
Best of all…it was great not to have to
wear a backpack, fanny pack, and tank bag. What
was also nice was that because I felt the bag
was very secure on the back of the bike…I
was able to ride my ride in the corners without
worrying the pack would fall off or shift. My
buddies that were using the tail packs that
have to be bungeed had to take it easy thru
the corners for fear that their packs could
fall off. Anyway, congratulations on a great
product."

I
have used the your tail pack a couple of times
know and really I can't say enough good things
to describe it! The first few times I put it
on I had some trouble hooking up the front strap;
but, now I've figured out a very simple way
to connect it together which now I realize was
obviously how you intended it to be done! You
really put a lot of careful thought into all
aspects of the pack.
The bag works great. It stays secure & does
not shift around . It stays clear of the body
work. It looks good on the bike. Everyone who
has seen it likes what they see too. In my opinion
it's the best tail pack for both looks and function
that can be bought. Great job!
Thanks,

Hi
Les,
I
just received my Luggage Locker for my R1.
I was very impressed with the craftsmanship.
I tried it and it snapped in place just like
it came from the factory. I really appreciate
the way that you do business. You made me
feel like I was a friend. I wish you much
success in your business. You make a terrific
product!
Sincerely,

Hi,
My
name is John Lange and I received a "Seat
Sak" from you about a month ago. You
had asked for feedback on the product and
thus my email.
I
would like to compliment you both on the quality
and the functionality of the "Sak".
At this point in time I have used it strictly
for commuting back and forth to work and it
has worked very well. My job requires I wear
dress pants, shirt and tie at work. I ride
in to work in casual attire and pack my work
clothes in the "Sak" While it is
a little tight, with items carefully folded
into the "Sak", it has worked well.
The ease in which you can mount and remove
the "Sak" is so much better than
bungie cords and other similar methods. I
have found myself leaving my BMW (with saddlebags)
at home and taking the Suzuki to work (it
probably has more to do with the fact that
the Suzuki is a blast to ride).
I
look forward to some overnight weekend excursions
with the Suzuki and the "Sak".

Dear
Les :
I got the bag. I put it on right away and
went for a ride. It held everything I wanted,fit

bag I have gotten from you and again I'm very
happy.

Hi
Les,
I
just got your e-mail. THANK YOU for doing
this for me, and I'm sorry that you ended
up driving out to ship it (by the way, the
$3 is more than fine by me). You have taken
customer care to a whole new level, and that,
combined with your great products, will bring
you much success! In this day and age of automation
and impersonal consumer transactions, it is
great to know that there are people like you
out there.
Now
as I am bragging about your product to my
riding buddies, I can also brag about the
way I have been treated!
Thanks
again, and have a great day!
Dave

I
don't know if my previous e-mail went through,
but I want to tell you that I am very pleased
with the tank bag you made for my R1100SBC.
Only a few friends have seen it since I installed
it but those who have think it is the coolest
luggage ever. I am especially pleased
with the fact that nothing touches my paint.
The blue piping matches the Boxer Cup perfectly,
the zippers work smoothly and it looks good
installed. If you make a tail bag
for this machine I would be interested.
I don't like the saddlebags for this motorbike
because it spoils the esthetics. Thanks
for a great product. Bill
