Oh. My Gawd. I fit everything in that list, apart from being incontinent. (but that'll probably arrive soon, knowing my bloody luck)

I own a red storm. I'm retired through medical reasons and DO get my pension at the Post Office. Also, the Banff Post Office and Chemist are run by the same shop. (in the same building), so, after collecting me pittance, I go up the steps to the Chemist, where I leave with half their stock each time, including Asthma inhalers, diabetes needles, insulin and tablets, disposable sharps bins, painkillers, valium to relax the muscle cramps in the legs, a large bottle of pink indigestion liquid stuff (and a par-tri-idge in-a-pear-treeeee).

It all fills 3 bags, and people have to wait ages till I fill out each individual prescription sheet. I'm telling you, if I was a horse, they'd have shot me years ago. :(

So, erm, yer spot on. I need me a set of panniers like these Beetle Bags after all! - One side can carry my medication, and the other side can carry my (soon to be) incontinence pads!!


"We hear GBM is touring abroad on his VTR, is that true?"

"Erm, no. He said he was incontinent...not, on the Continent." :roll: :lol:

Well, that was the sales brochure (above).

Now watch the original VTR1000F Japanese promotional launch video.

It starts off with the red bike, then the main video is on the silver model, then at 5mins 35, it gets back to the red one again. A technical cutaway, and the specifications.

Interesting, but I'm sorry, I can't understand Japanese, so cannot translate it for you.

Much appreciated too! Thank you! It's another for my electronic files - although I have this original paper sales brochures in my VTR folder! :thumbup:
