More top tips to look right

[Mr Beeza]

I recently let people know that topboxes were the worst thing you could fit and were naff anyway. Thanks to those who sent gifts of tyres, brake pads and oil as appreciation.

Now I want to tell you of more...

When camping, don't be seen with one of those little hammers to knock in the pegs. The world is full of free rocks lying around if the ground is hard. The hammer makes folk look like first time boy scouts. And don't knock the pegs all the way in to the hilt.

No gonks, kid's toys and teddy bears on the bike please - it makes you look like Gold Wing or Harley people. Which you are not. This is seriously naff.

No Givi luggage of any kind - it makes the bike look like a monster hamster. Very naff.

No moto X helmets please - a style too far. And they're for teenagers to wear, pushed up high on their heads.

When you can, stop where you can admire your reflection in shop windows. Don't be seen doing it......



More tips later.....of style

Well, that's me out of the game then - matching Givi topbox and panniers.

You can recover though.....it's not too late...

So you have never camped in Ullapool then. My £2 Lidl hammer is in constant demand

Got me there. Alan the squirrel was put there to taunt Mr Vader 2 years ago and it's remained in place ever since.

I have ally boxes.. Are they not worse?

I can hardly wait

[Mr Beeza]

No never camped at Ullapool - but there's plenty of ancient rock there for pegs. I did spend some months as an assistant stalker or ghillie on the Fisherfield (Ach an Iasgar)estate though, just down the road. That was when Whitbread owned it. Stayed at Letterewe when not at Carnmore on Loch na Sealga.

I'm glad you're gagging for more style tips - it's clear you liked them. Here's one for now; if you insist on kids toys on your bike, NEVER give them a name -please. Here's another - never speak like Edinburgh folk who need style tips and say "I'll chum you down to the shops". Now really!

Ally boxes are good - it gives the rufty tufty look.

This thread has me in stitches. Thank you

I however am more concerned with the b****y idiots whose gear matches the bike. Should be banned that

Yes you're right there. Matching kit is vomitive As bad as little toys like this sitting behind the windscreen; oh come on !

I was laughed at when my polka dot clothes matched the bike; but I learned my lesson.

And if you live in NW London I'm surprised you've still got a faking bike with all those hoods running about.

[Mr Beeza]

damn, I even matched my hair color to the bike....

That's OK but what if you're a baldy old git - just don't paint your head.

So you've got silver grey hair with red flames shooting out have you? Well that's if it's a 96-97 @.

Red, white and blue?

ah, you're based in Germany, that explains the look
