Not long before...

Not long before the first big snow here in Colorado, we got out for some riding and a few photos. Beautiful evening. Nice road. And a new product that's heading your way soon. In the next month or so, look for more photos and the check for the latest new products at wolfmanluggage.com. And if you can, get out and ride!

Any Rack Will Do

For those who haven't been following along, here's the news.

Wolfman Motorcycle Luggage is no longer making side racks. The long version of the story is here, but the quick version goes like this: Things didn't work out, and now we make our saddle bags fit a whole bunch of side racks.

Most racks out there will work just fine with our Expedition Dry Saddlebags, Monarch Pass Saddlebags and Rocky Mountain Saddlebags. Thanks to the innovative Universal Saddlebag Straps.

So go ahead and pick a rack that suits you and works well with your bike. Then decide which pair of saddle bags will work best for you. Then load up and ride. Simple as that.

Open House! Success!

We had an amazing Wolfman open house Saturday! Filled with famous DAKAR riders signing autographs, local dealers, motorcycle-industry friends, loyal customers and family! Can't be grateful enough for all of our continued growth and Eric's creative designs. Who knew we would be in a 10,000 square foot office building with a Showroom from our extra bedroom in Nederland to Boulder to our Longmont basement to NOW?!!! We employ 8 in-house employees, 9 contract sewers, 1 contract cutting house, 1 contract manufacturing facility, 1 contract custom rack builder, 1 contract powder coating suppler, 1 part-time Webmaster/Professional Photographer, 1 part-time VP of Marketing/Showroom, and 1 part-time cleaning person. And all our racks and soft luggage are made in America. WOW!!!

Shots of the new facility at Exterior of 1531 Skyway Drive, Unit A.






We served Chef-prepared food (Juli's husband is a professional chef), had a fundraiser raffle and sold items from our new Showroom!

Great turn out of riders with all kinds of bikes! Even had a St Louis customer come into town with his custom semi camper/motorcycle rig.

Rolie Bag System - New for 2011!

Reactions to our Roll-top 100% Waterproof luggage have been enthusiastic. Our Expedition Dry Line -- saddle bags and duffel bags -- helped get riders out into the elements without the elements getting all over their gear. So how about even more ways to carry your gear without worrying about rain, river crossings, slush, mud or dust?

This year, there are many more choices thanks to our new Rolie Bag System. The Wolfman and his cohorts put lots of effort into designing a system that can be used in many different ways. How will you get the most out of the Rolie Bag System for the way you ride?



Start with any of the three sizes of Rolie Bags. Each bag is built tough with waterproof vinyl, radio frequency welded seams and a roll-top that keeps water at bay. Mix and match sizes (and colors) to get the capacity you need. Each bag comes with a strap set that allows mounting to a seat or rack.



Then pick a mount system that puts the bag or bags where you want them: Seat mount, seat/fender mount, rack mount, tank mount, tank pannier-style, or saddle bags. Saddle bags can mount on Wolf Side Racks, or straight onto dirt or enduro bikes with our Rolie Saddle Mount, depending on the bike and bag size. The universal mounting patch on the bags allows each one to quickly fit onto one of the mounting systems.

Find out more on the Wolfman website: The Rolie Bag System

Wolfman's KTM loaded with Rolie Bags: Small Rolie Bag on tank, Small Rolie saddle bags, Medium and Small Rolie Bags stacked tail bags.


Ed flies with a massive load of fully waterproof bags: Expedition Dry Saddle Bags, Expedition Dry Duffel, Large Rolie Bags as Tank Panniers, and a Medium Rolie Bag on top of the tank.

New Product! RotoPax and Wolf Side Racks

We're always looking for a way to extend the adventure. So here's a new one. Combine the Wolf Side Racks with the RotoPax system.

RotoPax bottles allow you to carry a gallon of extra liquid. Fuel? Sure, for extra miles anywhere. Water? Yes, for more time in the desert, maybe.

The Wolfman Mounting Plate attaches to Wolf Side Racks. Then the RotoPax mount bolts to the Plate. Slide a RotoPax 1-Gallon Fuel Pack or 1-Gallon Water Pack onto the mount, twist, and you're ready to go.

BUT, you can also use our Expedition Dry Saddle Bags or the Teton Saddle Bags WITH the RotoPax. They mount over the 1-Gallon pack, secure and tight, like you expect them to be.

Take a look at the whole system:

RotoPax Fluid Mounting System and Options

Wolfman rack system is spectacular!

Eric,
Here are couple of pictures of my wolfman stuff. I got all of my Wolfman gear from Elite KTM back in March when I got my KTM 690 Enduro. Guy Stevenson and I finally got to go out on a short trip and use it. First off, the rack system is spectacular!!!! Easy to install, low profile, and strong! I would recommend adding to the packaging extra spacers for the top mounts for those not using an upper rack and some 1/2" spacers for the lower attachment point so you don't have to use the enduro footpeg assembly. The Expedition bags are way easy to put on the rack. I really like the ease of use. The duffel is a little bit on the big side for me. If you made an extra small it would be perfect. I've got a lot of extra strap-age to tuck and tie. 3 days or 1 month I take the same gear on my rides. Tank bag and the tool bag are just right and stay of the bike all the time. Do you do anykind of custom prototype stuff?? I could really use a pair of fender bags with the velcro set up used on the tool kit. In the pictures you see I have a fairing on my 690. I would like to put each of my tubes on either side of it on the inside so I can open up a bit of space in my tool kit.
Anyway, great stuff. I'm really happy with my purchase. Hope to see you on the trails.
All my best,
Earlbob
