It can be cured - with a fairly high success rate - provided the sufferer buys a KLR. The results of this are certainly clear as I've never met a Tosser who rides a KLR - clearly a completely opposite result to those who ride DR650's

To be specific - DR riders have a variation of Tossers Syndrome called low level TS. Often the syndrome progresses when they sell the DR and buy a KTM - and then develop the full blown version of High Level Tossers Syndrome - a variation of HLTS often affects gay people who feel compelled to buy BMW's.

so the only way to make sure you are not a Tosser is to buy a KLR

That's so damn good I just can't find anything to say except:

(Am now wondering whether this syndrome bleeds across into camera purchases too!)
I need therapy.....

Silly. You don't take a photo with them.

You stick them in the spokes of a passing bike and then take a photo.

They're no good as suspension.

I'm down to just the essential 3 cameras now.
Canon 20D dSLR for good shots.
Olympus 10m waterproof thingy for normal shots.
Panasonic 1.5m waterproof video camera for motion shots.

Cash n Trade in Richmond have quite a few cameras though.

ok ladies feast your eyes on this...

**Padmei** · 14th June 2009, 19:34

Was it the cow pat on the road that did it? Could have just dodged it rather than laying the bike down

**junkmanjoe** · 14th June 2009, 19:37

unlike ive seen before, very interesting turn of events led to this minor mishap.....

You complete and utter quick-on-the-draw-camera barstard!

For the record: It was NOT a crash, i was staionary & i went to put my right foot down and my trousers got hooked up in the goddam spikey swivel pegs! By the time I got leg off pegs all i had time for was holding the bike for a gentle lay down!
Actually that sounds even more pathetic than if I'd crashed!

Still it straightened the bars back up a bit! Barely out of line again now!
