Where do those go?

Remember the performance getting them on and off the old racks before the plates got designed?

Let me try and explain the top box situation to you! Look back at my pics over Winter and Spring.....no box! Then about 3 or 4 months ago I put it back on.......for a reason! And that reason is to carry plenty of water, and to put my stuff in if I leave the bike unattended. Bear in mind I can go an hour or more between petrol stations, bars etc when I'm in remote areas! And there's no mobile coverage in these places. Now just imagine breaking down somewhere like that in scorching temperatures with no water and no way of getting help? You have to be very careful not to get dehydrated or get heat stroke out here! I got caught out last year despite the fact that I took water with me because I just didn't take enough. I'm not making that mistake again! Did you know that the heat kills about 1500 people every year in Spain? Apparently in 2003 there was a brutal heat wave here when 6,600 people died in 15 days. And of course, older people are more at risk. That's me that is! So that being said......you'll just have to suffer the trauma of my box for another month or so!

It's top box weekend I see!

Stick around....tell us a bit about yourself!

Costa Coffee on a Hypermotard......Ewan and Charley will be watching this shit for sure!

You don't have cafes in the middle of nowhere! Or petrol stations! You don't even get a phone signal.

So you went to McDonalds and it rained?

Despite having a migraine I went out for an hour......cos somebody's got to give this place some credibility. We're just lucky that there's other forums out there where people are even more pathetic than you lot. I think the first pic could be my BOTM entry this month.......not that I'll get any votes obviously. You pricks would vote for a Burger Van or a Wheelbarrow before you'd vote for any bike of mine!

Bloody hell Tony.......that's some detective work!

No idea..... @boboneleg?

Hi Parker!

That looks nice!

Still stuff like THIS available here!

I went in one about 20 years ago in Bristol......and it was awful. Royal something?

I paid €1400 for this in 2010.......1996, 29k kms, and completely original.

He's having a laugh surely? And WTF sort of pipe is that on it?

Excellent Ian!

What's the tall construction Eric?

This is seriously sad shit!

Excellent Eric......what are those for?

I was actually drinking there Bob.......getting as much of my bottle of water into me while it simultaneously leaked out of my skin!

Of course not......you're not in the UK!
