That's nice, you know. I must be not as young as I was.

Yours looks better btw.

 

That was going to be my next question. I mean you'd never get a
passenger in there with a cover on.

 

FFS. You'll be buying a tweed "sports jacket" with leather patches on
the elbows next, and start smoking a pipe.

 

LOL

 

Sounds like a plan, 800 watt suitcase genny, 500 watt halogen
floodlight. YKIMS. You'd get both for under £100.

Watch out, the Rushians are coming.

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

****, what a good idea. Mind you, the vibes will probably kill a 500W
lamp stone dead within a mile - the 300watters are a bit more robust and
the 150s more so (but a bit shorter).

Yep - that's pretty much what I thought on reading the latest adventure
of the Platypus.

 

Aren't there some regs about max wattage to be chucked out from the front
of a vehicle? Still, with the genny running , you could use the spare
squigglies to keep the hotpot going and the kettle on the bubble ;-)

In fact, I think we should nominate Platy as outside caterer at Dodgers
Point for BOSM.

 

I can just see Platty sitting on the bike shouting "Hot dogs, get your
hot dogs here". With addition of a slow cooker[1], it would be complete.

You could bring your flaming petrol device to add that ambient glow,
while I boiled up a decent cup of coffee on my FZR.

[1]Lets face it, you'd have time to let things cook.

 

With a row of 150 watt lights, it would look like some sort of UFO[1]
coming towards you at night.

[1]Complete with random sudden movements and straaaange noises.

 

"Arrrgghhhnooooo! I'm gonna diiiieeeee!"

 

Why the quotes around sports jacket?

 

Shooting flying things.

I can't think of a sport that's done in a "sports jacket".

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, mups

Croquet. Assuming the Cholmondley-Smythes are happy with a somewhat
"relaxed" dress code this year.

John Partridge jacket and Helly Hansons surely.

 

Seduction?

 

Sort of. I've always wanted to do the sidecar thing, like I've always
wanted to have a go at a helicopter. Once I get the hang of it, I'll either
get bored and flog it, or get obsessed and buy two or three more, or maybe
just keep it around for sunny weekends and the odd camping trip.

There is that too. One of the lessons from Frankfurt was how handy and
chuckable a small, lightweight bike could be.

Nah, it's the "showing up in unlikely places on a ridiculous conveyance"
thing. Plus you can get a lot of beer into a sidecar.

Next year, the Elefanttreffen...
