What is stashed under your seat?
Re: What is stashed under your seat?
Loads of extra wires for all the pluggy in things I use - pump for the Pro-oiler, Tyre plugger thingie (I seem to get punctures in 3's), spare headlamp bulb, tho' having just switched to a HIDS I can do away with that, then have a bit of room to stash some other small bit of crap.

Re: What is stashed under your seat?
beamish
i had my first blast on it, with new rear tyre and all the suspension mods and all i have done i decided to take it nice and easy plus its my first litre bike and i have been riding supermoto for 2 years so i have a steep learning curve. but pressing the button shows indicated 100 mph which is actual 98 mph as i set it slightly under. this was carried out on private land i must stress , but not bad for a first run i dont think .

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

A can of Pedigree Chum

My microchip. I'd rather track the bike than me.

My spare key in case I lose it.
Re: What is stashed under your seat?
Emergency tyre sealer/inflater, £20, tie wraps, thin waterproofs.
That said I usually keep one pannier on the bike (ZZR1100). It makes it much more useful and makes no difference to the performance of the bike (with me on it at any rate!).
The Velocette has nothing. If it breaks down its its a trailer job.

Was that possibly aimed at the post above yours ? i.e. related to a certain key/matlock/dog incident?
Hush you.

yup, just keep the fecker hidden, but keeps my phone n cash bone dry as my Leathers and Textile jacket are useless at keeping the water out.Timbo wrote:Kriega wallet? Isnt that like a handbag for blokesErnie Cooley wrote:Kreiga wallet with phone, keys and cash / cards stashed safely.
Re: What is stashed under your seat?
No, you're missing the point, you're meant to get your phone wet about twice a year. How else can you convince the significant other that you need a new one again?Ernie Cooley wrote:yup, just keep the fecker hidden, but keeps my phone n cash bone dry as my Leathers and Textile jacket are useless at keeping the water out.Timbo wrote:Kriega wallet?

Sirch m8,
Fitted a HIDS4U kit, basically half a car kit with the uprated supreme vision bulb. Bloody impressive, wide spread and a lovely white (very slightly blue) it is the 4300K bulb so has the higher light output. The reflections from cats eyes, signs etc are very bright, really see the difference even against other cars, makes normal lights look dull and yellow. Main beam is fairly instant using a solenoid to move the bulb back and forth and is probably a bit of a let down as there is no additional light (single capsule of xenon gas not 2 filaments), it just changes position, however, don't need any more than the dip position gives. Very pleased with it, can see a lot more on those unlit fenland roads
