Probably a little too much info in there... You'll have a convoy of toe-rags
following you on your next tour!! Mind you..... They'll have to catch you first!!

I have bent up a strong wire (very similar to a wire coat hanger!!) and made a small ring on either end. This is clamped under the front of the rear seat pad. This gives a small ring sticking out (out the way of legs and stuff) either side to allow me to hook a bungee on. It wont take vast loads, but is ok for a bag or rucksack and could be un-clamped quickly.

FFS do you actually think i ever leave it on the bike unattended!? and even if i did it would take you about an hour to unhook all the bungees assuming you could do it without taking an eye out! lol

So what happens when you're out touring on your own, and you need a comfort break? You find a public loo, and pull up outside.... then what?

Sounds like you're beginning to get forgetful, kwakgirl...... leaving your keys in the bike...... That's unlike you!

Oh, and by the way, I do have a friend actually.... Nurse says "he's a very special friend"!

Maybe the scrap metal tinkers flatbed Transit was broken that week, and so the Ducati was spared!!

What you need 'Letthegoodtimesrol' are pockets made from the same stuff as Mary Poppins' holdall!! You could probably get the Chevy in as well!!

Letthegoodtimesrol..... Everybody tries to ignore kwakgirl!! Trouble is, no-one can!!!

The ཷ Caddy will definitely need an extension on the garage!! You're lucky there's no missus to please as well, as you'd have no chance!
