Just for a bit of fun, useless additions to a bike

[Kiwi Graham:Me]

I pulled into my local service station a few weeks ago and a bloke had a sheepskin seat kinda addition to his petrol tank. This was for.............

HIS DOG

A little mongrel jack russel looking thing sat on the bike and obviously travels there all the time, tied by its lead to the tank. Only wish I'd had a camera. Anyone else seen this dude somewhere on the Shore. Legend!!

Do you mean real dog or just his Mrs???

id fit and use a cup holder if i had anywhere to put it. only use it when im touring and dont stop for anything other than fuel. an ex of mine had one for his coffee. worked great! cig lighter could be useful for charging phone, ipod, camera etc. and heated grips are something im dying to be able to afford. my fingers go dead when they get too cold, to the point where i cant feel if im squeezing the brake or not. lol.

a pillion brake lever, imagine the fun that would bring!

I've seen bikes with roofs, wipers, cig lighters, tow bars, cup holders, C.D players even a frigin telephone but I aint seen one with DOORS......... YET!!

Here is a wild thought,

How about ......




An extra pair of wheels for stabilisation

[EJK]

Yeah, but they don't count since everything that will be mentioned and unmentioned in this thread they already have ... I was having my hair cut at the Barbers one day and found a magazine devoted just to these estoric pieces of preambulation ...

Things you could get off the top of my head I saw in it ...

Automated Flag riser (either pops up or it actually raises a flag to the top of the pole)

Automatic landing wheels to assist with balance when stopped or low speed manuevering

Pneumatic side lifters to lift bike back up if it gets dropped

Portable garage for it to be stored in as part of the trailer

Microwave/Toaster/Gas fired stove

Helmet stowage rack (more than 2 helmets!?)

Extendable laundry pole ... it folds up and actually has 4 arms with wire like your own washing line!

Deployable "hardtop" surface so you can have a nice surface to park on

Fold out eating tray ... like those ones in airlines ...

Honestly, you couldn't make this shizzle up!

Reverse gears on a sprotsbike would be interesting

Have you been watching Monster Garage???

[sunhuntin]

already been done. cant recall the brand, but saw photos a few weeks back. the "trainers" pop out when the bike gets below a certain speed. handy for old codgers who cant keep it up, but refuse to stop trying.

a spare tyre

How about a sunroof? no no I want it cabriolet

Hey!! I resemble that aspersion...

a spare tyre

See old-school Vespas.

[Mr Merde]

But couldnt they be permanently attached to each corner of the bike thereby forming a stable platform which would be much safer than the two wheels we have now?

By joves...I think you might be onto something there. Well...on something, anyway.

[scorry]

as if these things didnt stop well enough to start with, add a car then try

Auntie Helen !!

A nude Auntie Helen.........


I have seen a SOLEX with mega high apehangers - good for a laugh which I presume was the intent.


How about extended forks on a GSXR.

[Mr Merde]

Something like this
