It'll be heated grips and hard luggage next, wearing textile riding suits and discussing mpg, next thing you know you're buying a BMW and wondering if you smell of wee.

And topboxes,don't forget topboxes.

But not my top box - aren't they std issue on BMW tourers. Apparently they develop a death weave if they don't have them on.

And god forbid people post picture on motorbikes on a motorbike forums.

Your top box is especially awful, I bet it smells like a 1980s phone box, how you could do that to an innocent GSXS, you should be shot at dawn (not my cousin Dawn)

No, I had my appraisal today at work, and was told to take the piss out of the helpdesk fuck Muppets less, so as I need to vent my robust sense of humour somewhere, it's going to be here, I was also told to be less abrasive - apart from that I'm perfect, it's amazing the shit you can get away with at work when you're a fucking genius.

Not just Triumphs, naked Hondas too.

I have a screen, heated grips, full hard luggage and wear a textile suit. But then, I actually ride the damn bike, and IDGAS what you think it looks like.

But Jack, you don't need any of those things if you only ride on sunny, dry Sundays between May and September and don't go too far from home.

It's ok he's getting old!

He got one thing right though, whilst my top box doesn't smell of wee it is full of mucky 'art' fliers

What are the rules on wearing modern gear on a classic bike? Do I have to buy a brown jacket, blue jeans, motorcycle trainers and grow a mustache?

You should find everything you need (apart from the mustache) in that big metal box behind the bike.

I NEED a screen because I'm going to have trouble maintaining the national speed limit without one. I've always wanted a pair of brown adventure boots but not had an excuse to buy some - I do now I'm having trouble getting the side-stand down wearing boots with heal and toe guards. I've taken the heal guards off my boots for now but I'm browsing adventure boots - birthday and Christmas are coming up
