Cough up/spit out a "grolly" when ridng an ST1300 Pan European.

My mate did this and the vortex caused by the screen caused said "grolly" to be sucked in behind him, whereupon it hit him on the back of the neck between jacket and helmet before sliding slowly down..................

Do not remove the padding of the speed hump on your leathers and use this as a cunningly devised method of carrying home your Indian meal. Those sauces sting!

Do not use shampoo/conditioner to clean the inside of your anti-fog visor as this will remove the coating :oops:

When going on a cold weather bike weekend,it might be best to advise your friends that you have found wearing ladies tights a perfect answer to your circulation problems.

Rather that than trying to explain yourself later as your all getting ready to kip down.
