only negative i can think of with strapping the rucksack on is if you came off. could protect you or it may not. just strap it on the seat like a pillion.

there is absolutely no reason that he shouldnt return to work but he should get a proper job like the rest of us. as stated in my daily paper, there isnt a huge protest to re-instate a recently convicted rapist taxi driver to his former job after serving his sentence, why should ched evans be treated any differently just because he has a talent for footie?

its the 650 i have but i still have the fazer. to be honest, when i first got the versys i thought it was a mistake as its tall and gangly and awkward. after a while tho, it grows on you and the fazer feels odd now. once my manflu lets up we can meet up somewhere and you can get a better idea of whether it suits you or not.

been riding for 35 years and never had a problem but, when i first started riding my specs would mist up so i (dont laugh) developed the habit of breathing down towards the base of the helmet. still do it today! also as a noob, i rode around at all speeds with my visor firmly shut (why do people still do that, especially black visor man?) which resulted in misting up while sitting in traffic lights etc. i soon cottoned on to opening my visor slightly as my speed decreased and i open it fully when in town, unless it's raining.

i have a slightly different perspective in that i'm half german. some of my ancestors died on both sides. highlights the pointless necessity of war, i suppose.

have a look at 'the bike shed motorcycle club/shop' for some inspiration. twins are very popular with the whole retro/custom scene.
