hey dave I work in the marine board building and did see you go past with the bike bag, I am on the ground floor and so have seen/heard you go past a few times now!

Meanie, You've made my day. I thought I might be committing some mortal sin with a bag on my bike, well it does spoil its lines somewhat, but a girl has to put her stuff somewhere and jacket pockets dont really cut it, especially for the hairbrush.  I have put a hand towel under mine to protect the paintork. Its an RJays about the same size as the one you have.

Yes, I will fess up as well. Guilty as charged. I have a bag on the back of my monster too. I put a triboseat grippy cover on my pillion seat and put some clear tape to protect my grab handles. This way the bag won't damage my bike. It gets a bit hot in summer with a backpack on, so this has worked well for me. I may not be stylish, but I am practical.

Yeah, a girl can never have too much stuff...   


and yes that is a chair under the tent, thermarest and sleeping bag. And no I don't always travel like thisl

Well packed! The back of your bike resembles the inside of my handbag. LOL. Just kidding. You packed well girl!!

Well actually, yes it does completely and utterly destroy the beautiful and sublime shape we have all come to love...

I feel embarrassed when I have to ride anywhere with that "thing" following me.
I put on my crappy textile jacket and leather work boots and hope that no-one recognises me.
Around town I ride really slowly and quietly, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible...

But I had no choice.
The Zook was laid up in the garage, getting oil pan, rear pinion and t-case seals replaced.
I was thirsty.

A man is not a camel...

Hey Heatherp i am curious  as how you are going to mount
Get a leg over get on the bike with all that on the arse
back.
With all your riding gear on.
You must be double jointed to lift your leg that high or you are going  get on side saddle even though a very mean feat.

How about a tank bag? Would allow for easier access to your beverages and thus quench your thirst faster? 

Ooooh - is H really that flexible?

I might have to quit my job, just so I can come to Turismo, and see Heather's... "talents"   

that sound liks a brilliant idea Dave

Heather, is that a bloody folding chair you have on the back!. Where the hell were you going?

No I'm not taking that much stuff on Turismo. Although I do have to take a sleeping bag to Bazz's place.

Yes that is a folding chair.  I was off  to the Port Fairy Folk Festival where you have to take and sit on your own chairs in the venues.

How do I get on the bike.  I do lots of yoga and whilst I'm nowhere near as tall as Spider, I do fold up just as nicely.  So YES Meanie I really am that flexible.

Hmmmm "flexible"?? 

One thousand and one, one liners there! 

But I'll pass cos I know whats good for me! 

her nickname to the vic DMF'ers in 'Hips' cause she so flexible in the....

anyway I have no doubt our girl can get on that machine (well not THAT machine cause it's got more bling since then!)
