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.

haha, i have been known to rest both legs and hands on the R&Gs when tired...

i should add that i'm not lazy - the trailer isn't for my SV - it's for the new bike, 50 mile tankrange, no reserve, 300 mile oil changes and an engine that'll blow up if it spends an hour on the motorway at high rpm means a trailer is a must

We just rode back to Yorkshire, was just saying we don't really ache much at all. You need to go and milemunch more, then you get oblivious to it.

if it's a Category B license then yes, there are weight restrictions governing drivers who passed after 2001 but they don't affect lightweight trailers like the ones discussed here...
