dannos Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Greetings, Just a quick note commending the staff at Helen Twowheels. Prior to a recent trip, I purchased the medium-size clothes sack. While packing said sack, both corners on the "neck" of the bag tore approx. one inch, which surprised me after all I had read about her system. Upon my return, I sent Helen an email along with pictures of the damage. She responded within a couple hours, asking me to mail her the damaged bag for an immediate replacement. A few days later, I had a replacement bag with no further issues. Thanks Helen! Dan Helen Twowheels Site Link to comment
MotoBoy Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 They are (she is) good people. I dropped by her shop here in town unannounced to help pick out some luggage, and she got out one of everything they make to demonstrate them, then "installed" the tie downs for the one I bought onto my bike personally, etc. Good products, nice lady, who rides. My bag's been through a lot of rain and has never leaked a drop. And it STAYS where you lash it down. I've even checked it on airlines, and they've failed to injure it. It's the real deal, IMHO.

dannos Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 MotoBoy, Yeah, I plan on adding more of her bags to my collection. They seem very tough and durable, and rain-proof! I haven't tried any of the strap-system she sells. Dan Link to comment
2wheelterry Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 She is quite a character as well. I met her at a rest stop in Utah and look forward to running into her again. Link to comment
mmmoore Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I have used her products for the last 6 years and find them to be top shelf items. 2 sleeping bag bags, 1 tent bag, straps, and wet towel bag. Hellen and I will have at least 1 six pack at a rally and I promise I have seen her personally exchange products with no questions. She is good people and stands behind her product line!

BUSTED Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I always enjoy visiting with Helen. She was in attendance at the Georgia Mountain Rally last weekend. Link to comment
David_S Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 She gets around. Last summer I ran into her at the dealer here in Wooster Ohio. DS Link to comment
MotoBoy Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I haven't tried any of the strap-system she sells. You gotta' get the straps. They are terrific and are made to work with the "slotted" straps on the bags. You cinch 'em down tight, and unlike bungies, your bags just won't move. Period. They're not expensive, and they work.

MotoBoy Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 An update: I wrote to tell her that her products were being well - spoken of here, and she wrote back to say she'll be at Erhard BMW in Canton, MI next weekend: I'll be doing a couple of demos at the newly purchased Pelc/Erhard/Southeastern MI BMW dealer's Grand Opening on Saturday the 20th... then it will be the Chicken Rally and Square Route for me! I'm having such a great time! Thanks again and say, "Hey!" to all the boys for me! Helen Twowheels, the BEST bag lady!
