Re: Alarming new trend!!

Used to have Krausers on a Bee Emm years ago and it was astonishing how much we could pack into those - like two Tardis's :)

All Honda's should have Topbox's fitted as standard. I mean why else does anyone buy a Honda apart from being a work horse and carry stupid load of stuff. :lol:

They arn't any good at anything else. :roll:

Hi. I'm Beanie, and I have a top box. I'm sorry. I do agree that they are fairly ugly, and I on;y use it when absolutely necessary - like if I take the bike into work. I gotta say though, that it's worth it cos the amount of street cred that Miss Currie gets is unbelieveable!:flower:

Your missing the point....if you walk around in leathers/carry a helmet not only do you attract envious stares, but it helps you attract tail :p

Oh and I can do far more shopping too... cos at Xmas, I have the top box, tailpack, panniers, tank bag and rucksack for the xmas shop. Who says you cant carry loads on bikes? :p :smt003

Once again the point has been missed....why make one embaressing journey, overloaded with candy canes and such like, when you can make several and look good in the progress.
