Simon, AKA Geordielad (but he's defected - now has a Guzzi)

From an Aprilia to a Guzzi? Nowt so queer as motorcyclists.
And it was Griff I was looking at, paint his nails and he'd be a dead ringer

If I weren't quite so couth I'd perhaps feel that this was the correct juncture to gesticulate and loudly utter, 'You fat bastard.'

Still, having met him I now have an answer to the great pie conundrum.

Yeah

You got there first :)

(and mart is only skinny due to his hog roast diet.... Nasty way to lose weight but he seems to like it...)

The faster black got there first - I just walked back to see which pie shop you had stopped at....

I stopped at all of them - they were out of stock...

To un-derail the thread for a minute. The top of the Aprilia panniers are about level with the top of the hump. Throw a towel on the hump - instant platform to strap roll bag on. Never leave home without a towel.

You'll probably find that you're too late and a German has their towel down already ..............

*cough*

"is this thing on?"

On the subject of humps, Did the Falco come standard with a pillion pad and a hump cover? I assume if using a tail pack you are better off having the pillion pad in place?
