Go 'anywhere' RS

Post by ME 109 »

I've never ceased to be amazed just where the ol' RS will take me. There have been a few times around the camp fire tho' where I've thought what I could do to make it a 'really go anywhere bike'.
Today, as I was fitting a solo seat most kindly given to me by Charlie, it came to me.

I think this is a most unique idea that I've not seen on the net before, although I think there'll now be a run on the idea.
I need to mount another set of foot pegs tho'

I don't really feel like taking shit from anyone, butt, whaddya think?

That"s an old picture. It hasn't rained in Albury for ages! Either that, or your aim isn't too flash.

Holy shit Jeff!!!! This'll cause a stink in BMW circles! I reckon you'll really be in the poo ! Still, there'll be heaps of room for all the little bits of crap you need on a trip. You've started something, that's for sure. Bloody trendsetter!! Hools.

Very innovative! And a bit scary.

If you don't mind I do have a couple ideas about improvements. First, can it be rotated to face forward? The pegs might make it easier to mount and dismount. And the handlebars might be useful to steady yourself.

Secondly I think it should be painted black to match your seat and bags.

(As an aside I'm really proud of myself that I didn't type in any puns or tasteless jokes. Of course I didn't get any laughs either.)

Forward facing would be good, 'cause then the paper roll could be kept on the handlebar and be within reach.

Notice the convenient location of the pannier handles. I know they're good for 20+ kilos each.

If I turn it to face forward, I'm sure it will gain the attention of the Ironbutters. Well, the ones with a throttle lock anyway.

I'm surprised we haven't seen such a thing in the Iron Butt rally for those who have a ten gallon fuel tank but only a five gallon colon.
Call me Mel. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me at home, I thought I would ride about a little and see the other parts of the world.
