    Very good, but what happens when you get knocked off, or you carry a pillion?
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Nice, and it doubles up as a vacuum cleaner when camping.

    What does he do with that tube when he walks off? Holds it in the hand you use to hold your helmet and gloves because you can't put a top box on the back?


    Ahh, gotcha.....

    I guess it will be a QR attachment? Not a difficult fix I would guess.

    I can see a use for the concept, though I suspect few of us here in the UK would ever need such a device.... However, I can remember last August in Southern Germany, temp in the 30s, even with a mesh jacket I was cooking and started to dribble water onto my tee shirt every 30-40 mins just to stay cool!

    I do remember a californian designed device back in the late 70's which actually pumped water to a porous under vest to get water onto the skin where it could evaporate to keep you cool. However, I doubt you would want to arrive at an appointment dripping water
