Wolfman in Medicine Bow Range, WY



Yo, here are some pics of a recent trip you might want to use for an upcoming catalogue or website.

The pics were taken on the top of Snowy Pass (10,800 feet) in the Medicine
Bow Mountain Range of south-central Wyoming. It's a great drive on a
motorcycle (Hwy 130), which is just north of Encampment, Wy and goes from
west to east and plops you back down in the sleepy town of Centennial,
Wyoming. These pics were taken on the 3rd day of a 4 day dirt,gravel,and
some slab tour of the Medicine Bows. Just prior to the trip I bought the
tank panniers which worked well for carrying my cook kit, stove, and msr
water filter.

Thanks, Doug Goodwin



Hello Wolfman crew,

I am a firm believer in testing and confidently knowing how well a part or product works. I recently used the Wolfman Luggage Expedition Dry Duffel on one of my outings through the Oregon northwest. Wanting to avoid the usual grind on the major highways I began heading north to Washington via this road trying to connect the dots from Detroit Lake and Mt Hood. It was all good until I got up in elevation and a late snow had left the pass with about 6-18 inches of mushy, crusty snow. Since turning around and adding 70 plus miles to my day was something I did not want to do I continued through the snow with my bag laden KTM 950 Adventure. I stopped several times, most of them in a controlled fashion, to hike out the path to determine if I could make it through. I found that near the end of the snow, where it got the deepest, was a truck that had gotten stuck. The great thing about this was they told me that the road cleared just around the corner. This was great news as I was getting tired of man handling the big girl through the mush and getting showered with snow from the roost. The last bit I ported all my bags and gear to lighten things up, unsnapping the Dry Duffel was quick and easy. I made one trip with the Dry Duffel and my tank bag using the shoulder strap and one with the panniers. Just as I came across the last bit of snow I was met by another rider who was coming from the other direction. We chatted for a couple minutes and then we proceeded to one of his favorite stops along the way to enjoy the day, a fine cigar and banter about riding gear.

I have to say that I am very happy with the build quality, how well the bag works and withstands my level of abuse. I have beat this bag up without question. Dropped it in a creek while attempting a crossing and my gear stays clean, dry and surely attached to the bike, independent if its sideways in snow or water. It also works as a positive flotation device in the unlikely event of a water landing! I also like the enhanced visibility provided by the bright yellow material.

Fine American Product


Thanks to Wolfman for the quality product after the sale and the support before the sale.

After 14 years of doing without, I returned to the world of motorcycling. A few months ago I was in the early stages of planning a road trip and contacted Wolfman about his large expedition bag and promptly received a reply of the pros and cons of using the large expedition bag with panniers on my 2009 BMW Adventurer.
After a 3,500 mile trip from Portland, Oregon to Banff to Mt. Rushmore and points in between that included high winds, rain as droplets and pellet form....the Wolfman Large Expedition Bag held up great. I was impressed!
I am very happy with quality of this fine American product and enjoyed fielding questions from others regarding the large expedition bag while touring the Northwest.
Thanks.

Old Wolfman tank bag that never dies...



Hi!

This is the story of an old tank bag, that never quits, never dies, and
has found a place on every motorcycle I've ever owned.

I bought my first wolfmann tank bag in 2001, with my first motorcycle.
It was a Honda Nighthawk 750. Soon after, I bought a Suzuki SV1000S,
and well the list goes on from there. The tank bag has held bulging
quantities of clothes, tools, souvenirs, and even a small picnic for my
wife and I on Sunday jogs without lament.

Recently, I took a ride up through British Columbia on my '95 Ducati
Monster. Stuffed to the gills with a spare face shield, clothes, and
every tool needed to rebuild the motor (sans a crankshaft lathe). It was
so full, that even the super-strong magnets couldn't hold it, so I
bungeed it to the tail (thanks for putting d-rings on the bag!)

Over two-thousand lovely miles with my old, dirty tank bag. Surely it
will outlive me.

As I just ordered a fender bag for my ongoing enduro/dualsport
addiction, I thought I should drop you folks a note to let you know not
only how amazingly well your gear holds up, but how happy I am I came
across your products.

Thanks!

Wolfman in BC



Hello,
Received your Explorer Lite Tank bag the day before we left for our trip. Want to let you know that it works great & now I don't have 5 pounds of stuff in my pockets!!
The second one I ordered was a gift for a long time motorcycle friend.
If any of the Wolfman crew are into dualsport riding and want to try out BC, shoot me an e-mail and I can arrange a trip.
I've attached a couple pics from the trip. (notice the one with the Wolfman fender bag & tank bag)

Cheers,
Richard Green
