    I just bungie my woollymoo on. If it gets wet either wear wetweather leggings or just role it up on the back of the seat or on top of the topbox if with a pillion, no vailuable luggage space used up at all. And gentle on your piles they are

    There are some riders who think they are ghey, hey if my arse is happy I'm happy.

    For those that do not like sheepskins may I suggest using disposable nappies as a suitable alternative.

    Hahahaha, what about getting a jacket made the same, you'll look like a Yeti riding along

    What do you use that works well - custom made and fitted?
    a bit cut off an old one?
    - do you tie it on or just sit it there before you get on?
    - do you whack off the leg of a sheep and skin it then use it fresh ? (they've got 3 more, they'll be fine)
    Ideas and experience appreciated
    well ive got a fat arse, have you ever considered putting on some weight,
    well you could come up to auckland to ponsonby and ask some advice from anyone there, we are of course in the gay capital of nz ya know.

    You realise I'm talking about putting the wool on the inside, right? I think the wool on the outside might not slide so well, causing rolling ...

    Already 100kg and any more won't go on my arse - so no thanks, a food binge ain't going to help.

    Yep, I know what you meant, but that was the 1st mental picture I had, mind you, the wool on the inside picture isn't much better - you'd be all padded out and look like a sumo wrestler

    Whatever cock, couple months ago Auck to Welly in under 6hrs and back the next day in a similar time, all on my TLR with a stock seat.

    Going back down shortly again too, so I have the skills to pay the bills, not just some noob behind a puter screen

    Spent plenty of time in the saddle over the last twenty odd years, plenty more to go I really don't




    just another fag on a bloody honda

    Ever circumnavigated the South Island on a CB550F in three days?
