Motorcycle trip down to Normandie

A greeting from one of our most satisfied KORI users, Jonas who just returned from this year's first motorcycle trip. This time the journey went to Normandy, where he among other things visited the invasion beaches.

When Jonas goes on a motorcycle trip he drives motorcycle all the way, this time with the exception of boat ferry Gothenburg-Kiel, so there is a couple miles per trip. This time the spring air wa cool, both while driving and when off the bike but just as before Jonas appreciate the softness and comfort of KORI and also on this trip it felt nice having an extra insulating layer against the cool spring air.

In July its time for the next trip by, then Jonas will drive his motorcycle down through Slovenia, Croatia and Italy. A summer trip with warmer air and the need to want to take off more becomes more apparent.

We look forward to hear from him then!

Rapido, a motorcycle club - driving motorbikes and hanging out

Imaging what a machine on two wheels can create, in addition to being a way of transportation, it's an incredible feeling of freedom and a starting point for socialisation. Often, motorcycle clubs mentioned in the media in connection with criminal gangs but there are many nice and non-criminal motorcycle clubs based in a culture where people gather to share the joy of driving, adventures and just hanging out. A motorcycle club like this is Rapido, a motorcycle club in the Swedish capital Stockholm with 160 members, almost half girls and with people from all types of professions. They meet and go on tours, having barbecues and meet up to have a nice time together, nothing more, nothing less.

KORI met Rapido last Saturday when they had their event in Stockholm, a very nice initiative and several other exhibitors where there. Thanks for a nice event, Rapido!

Above is an article about Rapido written about motorcycle clubs of Jacques Wallner for the Swedish Daily News (Dagens Nyheter).

Thinking about the disaster in Bangladesh...

We're talking about that we manufacture our products in Sweden "with the environment impact and the living standards that we feel that we can stand for", and this may appear to be empty words but it is just examples like these that made us take this decision, the disaster in Bangladesh where over 1,100 textile workers lost their lives.. who would want to stand for that ..

We feel that we are too small to make the kind of demands that would give us full control of what happens in a factory on the other side of the globe, in a culture that we can not compare ourselves with and with a standard of living that makes these conditions considered to be ok ...

What is interesting in this discussion is that not even major companies, global companies such as H&M proves to have the strength (or desire) to achieve full control and take responsibility for their factories ...

When we want to visit our factory here in Sweden so we jump into the car and a few hours later, we sit and have a coffee discussing the production. It is an incredible security and a comfort, not the least that we feel safe with the laws and regulations in Sweden, but also our communication and close contact with production managers and seamstresses the credibility that we want to make us proud of our production and products!

Yes, our prices are higher than our competitors - but we also make sure to fill our products with a user value and a functional value that matches our pricing. In addition to this value, one should not extenuate the security of buying a product that is made with a standard of living that allows our factory workers to go to work each day without having to be concerned, either for themselves, their colleagues or their families.

The days of the motorcycles.

 


This weekend it was the day of the motorcycles! Spring is here and the sun was shining!

KORI was present at one of the largest motorcycle stores in the capital, Stockholm. Meff and Sebastian was there introducing motorcyclist to this new concept that can give them more flexibility and freedom on the bike - without compromising with safety!

Review: Protection when motorcycling and when skiing!

Anders has been driving motorcycles for years and he always drives with a back protector, but he would never put on his motorcycle back protection when skiing "you have other demands on movement when skiing than when riding a motorcycle." 

Anders has been away skiing with KORI Coyote on his back. He experienced the feeling of protection as "You even forget that you have it on, did not even think about it, but very nice to feel protected on the skis too".

Anders did not get the opportunity to use the backpack feature during, but he feels the practical benefit of always having extra storage ready if needed. On the motorcycle, however, he feels that the feature to make transform the back protector to the backpack is brilliant - now he just waits in the spring.

And the second name is...

The winner of the KORI Hare (worth 200kr) is: Yasmine Sevelin-Yxpil. Congratulations!!
