To hump or not to hump

#1 Post by Alkydale » Tue Jul 15, 2008 12:42 pm

What's the verdict on seat humps? I have one but like the look of the pillion seat better, I think, even though I rarely take a passenger.

Thought I'd ask the opinion of the experts, but you lot will do.................... :smt002

I take passengers fairly frequently but as soon as they get off, the hump goes on - to me it looks so much better than the seat.

There again it's a matter of personal preference.


..... think I'll turn this one into a poll :smt003



(resisted the temptation to add the 3rd option of having a fit 21yr old blonde on the back ..... at least the other 2 are realistic posibilities :smt003 )

speak for yourself andy....

I seem to manage quite well - and the wife is no way 21 - possibly 16 stone, but no more than that

(I threated to buy her a purple track suit so i could call her ribena bubble....)


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I think you'll find the words (and abreviations) 'yr old' were used quite deliberately in conjunction with the number 21

..... I'm presuming your wife never reads this forum .....

(mine doesn't !)
