    eek "Mine's bigger than yours....."

    Bit of a contrast eh?
    This thing pulled up at work today - I thought it was a bit strange when the guy phoned and said he wanted to drop off "a few boxes" of stuff to us on his bike.....turns out he didn't even use half the luggage space available!

    Makes the CBR look like a toy!

    Maybe those arent paniers, they could be wheel arches?

    That's not so dumb - there are Leadw... sorry- Goldwings in the US of the A that have retractable trainer wheels that tuck up into the panniers. (For those whose feet don't quite reach the ground, or who are too decrepit to heft 793,248kg of bike.)

    I had that when I first parked my ZX-10 next to the NZ-250. I knew the NZ was small, even for a 250, but the ZX made it look positively tiny !!

    They're here in NZ too, there's a guy in the naki that's got one. they automatically come down when you stop then retract again as soon as you take off....... Hmmmm the ultimate in laziness???
    It's just one of those days, where you don't wanna wake up,
    everything is fucked, everybody sucks,
    You don't really know why but you wanna justify ripping someone's head off

    Damn shame that you had your bike soiled by having that thing next to it
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    LOL - what happens if you happen to come to a halt on a sideways slope?

    (I hate myself for knowing so much about these buses.... but in my defence, I ride with a couple of guys who have them.)

    Dropping them isn't a problem, they don't go far till they end up sitting on the side rails. You'ld be doing pretty well to tip one over... And if you do crash, I pity the poor cage driver you hit!

    More like having your foot go from under you as you stop at the lights.
    Or putting it into the garage and have it fall away from you...

    Maybe I'm just a clumsy sod !!!!
