A world has been spent roadside, seat lifted up, unfurling an old tool roll as we try to figure out the latest gremlin in a wounded Ducati.Triumph,MV Agusta,BMW,Guzzi _________ insert other mark here…..Hours spent on the asphalt have taught us a thing or two about the need for the perfect tools and over time the contents of the tool roll have changed and expanded, becoming tighter and more refined with each use.  The roll itself hasn’t changed in ages and why should it?  Functional in either canvas or leather and in a form factor that is easily stowable in the tightest of spaces.

A long boozy lunch talking about Italian bikes, shirts, and our love for odd apothecary items had us mulling over what would make the perfect toiletry kit (an odd conversation, I know, but it would seem to be the norm around here).  It was decided that most toiletry kits were fairly useless being too big, too fancy, too heavy, too ugly with use, whatever.  The tried and true tool roll came up and an older BMW one was used as the prime example.  Our scheming minds quickly got to work on a piece of 10 oz waxed canvas that we had lying around and the beginnings of our toiletry roll were born.  Still hand made in NC in a simple form factor that brings together our love of old Barbour jackets and classic European motorcycles……
