Worry not. You'll be more sick of Griso evaluation than you can possibly imagine before long.

NO. Because they aren't selling well here, which means deals

During riding that piece of crap Honda cruiser today, I recall thinking about my V11Sport and how big an idiot I was for selling that.

I better go check out ebay now

Should be picking it up early next week - although with the standard pipe as they don't have the Termig in stock.

Very much depends on what job you're doing. I've never worn one and probably never will.

You'd be better off asking Easy Now Andy what it's like to wear one.

No. The Wench has ruled out the pillion pal. She doesn't like holding on to the rider, and wants to be independantly anchored to the bike.

Big patch of velcro on the arse?

Seriously - TRY a pillion pal. My kids love it, much more comfortable on the arms, and allows 'nudge' style communication betwixt pillion and rider.

I have a spare, happy to post it to you to try it out, if you like.

Token bauble:

Bah humbug.

Thans for the offer, and I have passed it on. But she's having none of it I'm afraid.

Maybe she suspects ambitions for bedroom trials or something. But what sh says is. "I know exactly what I want. I don't wnat to hold on to you. I want to hold on to the bike, thanks."

Hey ho.

Shame. Don't knock it 'till you've tried it is good advice at times.

But enough about your bedroom. The Pillion Pal's worth a try too Offer stands, if she changes her mind
