    LOL

    Been down on it three times. First two times picked it up by myself and carried on with no damage (no fairings help) third time broke my ankle and couldn't pick it up. But the 1400's are no problem to pick up at all when you get the knack right
    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

    I suppose if you had your way we would all be riding on carberated pushrod clunkers. Then we could throw away the tv......all sit around the eight track making conversation with our loved ones. Maybe we should throw away our fancy cellphones and get pigons again. Not to mention the bloody inter web, Lets go the the libary!!! YAY!!!!

    Also what about the the health problems with being a cruiser rider. Spiders living in your beard constantly biting you. A decent sized gut to rest on the tank,

    Back problems for all, no tv or sell phones! Why would you wish that all of us?......Why?

    OK, I'll grant you that one, but explain this to me: -
    When it comes to pillion seats on cruisers, why is it that the width of the seat is usually inversely proportional to the width of the arse sitting on it?

    We'll call that postulation a first cut of Bass's law. Awaiting photographic evidence to the contrary.

    Notice that the opposite applies to rider seats thought dude?

    To counter that:
    Why do cruiser pillions alight at the end of the journey all smiles?

    While sprotsbike pillions stagger off leaving one with the impression their piles have exploded up their arse??

    You may be right - I'll give some thought to a generalised equation.
    We may have discovered some great universal truth here.
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    I can disgree with you, we change alot of rear cruiser seats, to keep the wifes/partners happy on the back, since many cruisers rear seats seam to be very thin in size.

    I guess the other side of the coin is that a lot of sprotsbike rider don't tote pillions a lot of the time anyway?

    well sportsbikes not designed really for pillions really as a whole.
    But we do modify alot of sport bike/sport tourers seats to suit the pillions, also.
