| 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,

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

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,

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 good and the
build quality is excellent. I found that there was
plenty of room for a trip of 5 days in duration, including
numerous "non 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

P.S.
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.
Mark.

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
Les, The bag fits well and snug on my R1 and 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,
Mark B. Wong, RT (R), MS

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".

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
