Heyyy, great therapy, even I managed a bit of a tingle contemplating that!

Well done!

(lol) Cheers John.

Edit:On re reading I fear this could be dangerously misconstrued but too late.

Errr, in the absence of any normal replies (well mostly) these indents occur mainly on sports bikes as you might have noticed. Therefore they were designed in this manner to get ones head down when over 250kmh in order to make way for the protuberance on ones helmet called the chin guard on a full face.

I have found from personal experience that doing 260kmh on my naked GSX1400 one finds a huge amount of turbulence or wind resistance and that has the effect of making ones vision very blurry at speed so it is desirable to get ones head out of the tornado. With a naked this is very difficult due to the lack of a screen and secondly due to the full nature of the fuel tank cos without the indent one finds their head still sticks out a wee bit more than one would like. However, this is counteracted by the fact that after a few runs like this, your neck looks like Arnold Swharzenegers and for some reason the birds kinda like that.

Seriously, that is exactly what they are for.

It would be pretty poor style not to instruct the fair lady to grab onto the - therefore designed devices - handlebars before having your way with her. Being a real tankslapper would provide more grip I believe.

Anyway, you'd have to be pretty blonde to try and gain purchase from such a small indentation no matter how long your finger nails were - irregardless of the force being exserted behind you.

Your chin must resemble that of Clutch Cargo!

A potential new form of artwork might emerge... "elephant sketched at 150kmh" for example...
Quite challenging, especially if you are right handed.

I find that there is ample gap, for my chinpiece, between the front of the tank and the ignition, for when I'm breaking the law @ 101kmh.

O I hear ya but I have a short body and can only just get my bod that far up the tank that my helmet only just gets the chinpiece into that nice little dip

Say... anyone notice how none of the "hog" and cruiser style bikes (or dirtbikes for that matter..) DON'T have this?

**Dave-** · 28th July 2008, 02:20

**Insanity_rules** · 28th July 2008, 11:33

Your all wrong....Its called an Upper Hutt coffee table. Its to rest your beer, bong, boobs or other refreshments!

Before I get panned, yes I come from Upper Hutt and yes I have my black jeans, slab of tui and passport to get back in.
