Givi monokey V46 review

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

I got a Givi monokey V46N for Christmas, so I thought I should share a few pictures and initial thoughts on this box.

The box itself is great, and much bigger than my older boxes, however my helmet is quite large so there is no way this box would fit 2 of them. But it could probably fit two smaller full face helmets.

To attach the backrest you have to tape on a template, and drill two holes in the box, and the brake lights looked kinda complicated to install (for me at least).

The internal document holder

I’ve seen on forums and stuff that several people have had problems with this, the locking mechanism (see image above) kinda tricks you into believing that you are supposed to squeeze it someway, or even to remove the center pin.

The way you’re supposed to do this by the way is just to pull (using quite a bit of force) on the red plastic around the lock, to open it. Maybe I’ll put up a video when I get my new camera.

Night photography

I was outside trying to take some night photos of the stars, but that was somewhat of a failure as I don’t have a tripod and could only take pictures directly upwards :) Also all the pictures had visible small star trails in them. I did however get one pretty photo by accident.

Watering the ferrets

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Since it’s so hot outside, I set up the ferrets little swimming pool in the kitchen.

And as well all know ferrets go completely insane when they get to play with water, which resulted in some pretty interesting pictures of Pinky looking retarded:

Me and a friend drove around Byneset outside Trondheim today, got a few nice pictures. The last one I have to admit, was taken at home.
