[Nash GT]

When you don't want to pay for a rack, that's had a top box bolted to it.

Scarily common practice

Special mention for this;

I've done the pillion seat top box thing in the past.

Typically less than the cost of a rack to get a spare pillion seat and it's more compact, which rarely makes a difference, but I still prefer it to be tighter - if nothing else, so I occasionally satisfy my paranoia by tapping back to make sure it's still there and closed .

What on earth is that monstrosity ??

Reminds me of this

I do too often check to make sure that box is still there, paranoia and all that

Having done work to a bike that had been previously owned by a welsh police force, I believe they only had one socket set.
It was a 3/4" socket set with a 1m breaker bar, I would say.

Every single bolt was done up ridiculously tightly, including mirrors and so on.

Sad, when I worked for the Met in the 1980s & early 1990s practically all maintenance was done in-house, and to a really high standard. I knew loads of the mechanics, generally well trained, all the latest kit. Pity that's all been dumped in the name of out-sourcing, something we fought hard and successfully to thwart when I was there.
