Corbin engineers designed a spacious Trunk Box for the Indian Chieftain. It features 47 liters of storage… enough to hold a full face street helmet with room to spare. It’s lockable with a lined interior and color-matched exterior. Hand painted and finished to coordinate with OEM paint colors, the trunk includes polished aluminum struts and rack for simple installation. It also includes a passenger backrest pad and armrests covered in genuine leather and uses the same Comfort Cell foam as Corbin’s world famous saddles to provide firm, resilient support. Ergonomic design gives a sculpted fit to the body for maximum contact area and good weight distribution. Tasteful diamond stitch pattern adds a nice custom touch. Corbin will gladly coordinate the trunk components to your existing Corbin saddle (if equipped). For those interested in obtaining more information on Corbin, you can reach them at 800-538-7035 or online at www.corbin.com. Advertisement

This week in Karachi, Pakistan, police punctured the tires of 100 motorcycles parked at Dolmen City Mall car parking, claiming that the move would serve as punishment for those who left their motorcycles unlocked. Several commuters gathered in the parking lot to check their tires in the afternoon. “We came to know that most of the motorcycles in the parking lot had been punctured when we left our office building during a fire drill,” said Nashit Munshi, a junior product manager at a private company whose offices are located inside the building. Munshi and his colleagues were busy refilling their tires with an electric air pump, while others were seen dragging their bikes to the nearby tire shop. The police also took away the air nozzles from all unlocked vehicles.  Clifton police ASP Abadit Nisar, when contacted, said that he had no information about the matter and would inquire into it. “There is no such law to puncture a vehicle even if it is parked in a no-parking zone. The police can fine the driver and tow the vehicle away,” he said, adding that the personnel should have discussed the matter with the parking administration because it was their responsibility.
