Ok blokes.
Is this a common occurrence? with the way some of those tanks act as a brick wall for your twig and berries, I imagine there will be a few chaps wondering around out there missing a few cents from their coin purse.
Do any of the race suits come with some sort of cricket style protection for the twins?
Anyone got some painful stories to share?

My particular affliction to Honda sports bikes I have ridden.Originally Posted by xerxesdaphat
Those damn nutcracker tanks.
What is a nutcracker tank?
One where every time you touch the brakes one nut drops down either side of the tank. Right in line with where you are bearing down on the tank with your thighs.
Does not happen on Suzuki's, Yamaha's, Ducati's, BMW's, or kawasaki's.
If ever I buy a Honda Sports bike a custom tank will be on there before I end up a woman or at the very least soprano.
It's OK...I've got a spare!
Mine are always pulled up inside with fear as soon as I get on a bike.

Average trowel is average!
Under extreme braking I'd probably just slide over my tank. _b _b

Mate of mine t-boned a car on his GSXR11 years ago. Left a massive dent in the tank from his nads. Left a worse scar in my mind when I visited him in hospital and he asked if I wanted to look. Before I could say no he pulled back the sheet to reveal two massive purple 'growths' the size of coconuts. Eewww.

I remember taking my fairly portly older brother pillion on the RG150, bad plan
Soft forks, get on the brakes even gently they dive and he slides forward which of course presses you waay too hard into the tank
I literally made it around the block before heading home, anymore and I wouldn't have been able to stand

fecking hurts.
worst ive ever seen was a tank off a totalled r1 at a wreckers.
this big dent with 3 grooves in it (from ze twig and berries), went into the tank...deeeeep....then came up up up...then the dent suddenly stopped.... at the gas cap.
made my nuts ache just looking at it.

the tank on the Benilli 900 (i think) that won best itallian at the Vincent actually sloped back towards the rider so you would be trapped instead of sliding over

Slowest cnut in the Bay
Mate of mine hit a car years back on his Ducati.
Car pulled out in front of him.
They had to cut his stomach open to get to his eggs, that had ended up in there!
I believe they are fine now, but back then, were not very happy chappies.
Obey the hosebeast
Check out the dent in this insurance write-off zxr I bought:

Just stuff some socks down there and you'll be sorted. Most Honda riders do it anyway...
My signature is cooler than yours.
parting of the sensory
Whelp, I've owned 7 or 8 Hondas, and never suffered any testicular incidents on any of them.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

Twas a suzuki that did the damage for me.
I'm now on a honda, and I think it'll be much worse this time around.
