    all you need to do is when approaching a corner and want to button of all you do is flick the kill switch to slow the bike.
    Kinda makes sense...in a way.

    See, that is what has happened. It is the way the society works today: It is never my fault.

    I must be older than I thought, but when I buy a bike all the issues are my problem. And I fix them. If I can't I will walk (or get my lady to drive me... nah, wont happen!)

    Pricks like this probably have no idea how to use a spanner. Or even how to change the oil. Or how to check the oil level...

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    Joke... probably, or wifey's told him to sell and he really doesn't want too. Not really inspiring someone to part with $16K is it.

    Definitely a joke listing - with the aim of getting the attention of the national distributor and the nearest agent.

    Kinda works in a way though.

    bollocks. thick end of thirty large for a motorbike (and, if the OP is to be believed) it has major issues? Hell with that, I'd be wanting the manufacturer to stand behind their product too.

    the better question is: why would you bungee all that shit to your handlebars? doesnt it make the thing steer funny? why not attach it to the back of the bike across the tops of the panniers. Or is that tools he thinks he might need quickly?
