Bought myself a new keyboard. After 9 years the old Dell one is a bit knackered.

Saved a fiver as they had marked it down by mistake. Thumbs Up

Walked out of PC World chuffed to bits with a box about 18" long and then thought 'Crap, I'm on the bike'. Smile

Couple of minutes of chin-rubbing and got it sorted. Thinking

Normally in a Passat estate so this was new territory. Very Happy

I have to deal with a similar problem every time I ride a motorcycle. I stuff it in a small Tescos bag and jam it down my right inner leg. Thumbs Up

Not as bad as me. Popped in to Tesco for a Meal Deal and a magazine. Then just slipped in to shopping mode. Four plastic bags of stuff including heavy drinks and as I head to the "car", get that sinking feeling Sad

I went back in and bought those 6p bags for life as they're tougher, shoved a lot down my jacket and had two bags hanging off the bars Rolling Eyes

Defensive mode on

Slag off scooters as much as you like narrowminded people who think you are only a biker if you have gears, I'm pretty sure I can die the same way you can.

This is the one damned reason I like my scoot,

I can fit so much crap in my bike without a top box it's unreal. >Very Happy

Scooters are for homosexuals and women commuters.

I bet I can fit more on my bike than you can on your scoot and still double the motorway speed limit. Wink

EDIT: Mine is the one on the left. And yes, it exceeded 140mph with all that crap on.

EDIT 2: and yes I can admit that because the location in the picture is somewhere where there is no requirement to posess a driving licence, MOT, tax or insurance. Technically I should be wearing a helmet but if there were any police within 2.5 hours, they'd have been on the ferry in the background.

Scooters are for people in urban areas whose common sense exceeds their insecurity about their penis size.

Motorway speed limits are rare in central London.

And I'm sure you're happy leaving your bike like that - luggage in situ - parked up in central London for a few hours. Rolling Eyes

No. anyone who lives in London deserves everything they get and gets everything they deserve

I for one boycott the entire place.

I have only personally ventured inside the M25 once for a direct and specific purpose and immediately left again.

You choose to live in an antisocial, self-serving den of thieves. I chose to live somewhere I can not only leave my luggage on my bike, but I can leave the keys in the ignition in case it's in someones way and they need to move it.

Enjoy your scooter, inability to get from A to B at anything above walking pace and socially accepted as normal theft of your property.

Living in London is for idiots, homosexuals and women commuters.

For my part, my heart rises up and starts singing in joy once I get back into the clogged streets and get my aggressive filtering game started up again. Walking pace it certainly isn't.

Walking pace, that would be some village green with men playing cricket on a Sunday! Wink

I'm Irish; I have no allegiance to nor nostalgia for England, historical or idealised. My feeling is that London is almost like a medieval city state, like something out of renaissance Italy or the Hanseatic League, with some of the free-for-all chaos of an oriental metropolis mixed in. It's alive and teeming. The agrarian hinterland of England is a different country, a much more boring one, one I occasionally visit to ride my bike, much like I'd visit France.

I feel many people in the UK resent the attention that London gets, and wouldn't mind the M25 turning into a river and the whole of London floating away to somewhere else. As long as convenient and fast transport links to the continent existed, I wouldn't wholly mind either; but I'd stay with London!

I'm pretty sure if I was to add side boxes and a top, and then use the pillion seat also, I would easily carry more, and not need to double the speed limit, what's the fucking point of " YEAH IM COOL LETS GO FAST YEAH MAN YEAAAAAAAAH FUCKING SPEEEEEEEEED IM SO BAD ASS "
Grow up man, I'd much prefer to be comfy, at a safe speed.

You wanna be a narrow minded cunt and judge people who pick something alternative to you? go ahead. I don't mind looking down on you.

I always carry bungees and sometimes rok straps.

I have a large rucksack and I often just put shopping bags over my mirrors. (things like bread etc, nothing that's going to break, I always double up on bags).

Portable BBQ anyone?
