Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Default Alarming new trend!!

Ladies, Gentleman, Grinch & Scoobs, i seem to be witnessing an alarming new trend in the biking world. One that will shock many, but may not surprise some. I see this act of sheer stupidity occuring more often on my daily commute. Although not dangerous, i still think its rising popularity will bring biking a bad name. I have thought of the implications of it, and i think its quite shocking. I witnessed at least 5, yes 5 instances of it this morning alone. However, i think with a lot of hard work and rallying around from fellow supporters, i think we can stop this totaly pointless and shocking thing from happening, or at least stunt its popularity. What is this heanious scary shocking thing for that i am typing this?

SV's with Top Boxes....DONT DO IT. I Dont care what reason you have, they look crap, get a tail pack ok!

So please do the decent thing, say no to top boxes on SV's. If you have one, then there will be a support group run by myself and Jonboy at the AE07.

All we want you to say is 'Hi, i'm <say name> and i have a top box.

And when you do so, it is wise to be wearing your leathers and helmet. We do aim to be a supportive network of friends, but we also aim for the soft, vulnerable parts. Sometimes instincts are stronger than intentions...

Sod off*!! Its my bike and Ill top box if I want to.

Sorry but unfortunately for me, practicality has to take precedence over aesthetics. I never had the luxury to do otherwise. Not that I have an SV anymore anyhow**

Anyone for a pro-topbox support group to deal with the harrassment you get for having one?

*this post is in no way entirely serious ** well except this bit which was.

Edit: I'll blame alpinsestarhero too, though I may have had my topbox on the SV before he did...
