Oh yeah?! Let's see you do THIS with your FatBoy!

Post by Syd »

I was running some errands the other day and noticed that my underseat storage was nearly full. Here's what was in it:

1. My fuel/service log book and pencil.
2. A spare pair of reading glasses.
3. The owner's manual and other papers in a freezer bag.
4. The waterproof liner for my River Road Motorcycle jacket, also in a freezer bag.
5. A pair of sunglasses.
6. My gloves.
7. A pullover windshirt.
8. 1 qt Royal Purple 10w-30 oil.
9. 18 popup lawn sprinkler heads.
10. 2 rental dvds.
11. The SYM Tool Kit (you think the Buddy manual is funny - viewtopic.php?t=2839&highlight=)?
12. A neck muff.
13. A tie-down strap (about 3ft w/j-hook ends).

The storage of my SYM is not supposed to be that great, but I don't have anything to compare it with. So, similar to the 'What's the most you've carried on your Buddy?' thread; What's the most you've put under your seat (er, besides 125cc's of course <g>)?

I've always said the most important things you should keep with your scooter at all times are: a tool kit, a cell phone and 18 popup lawn sprinkler head 8)

Hey, at least you didn't have your title and spare key under there. Seen that a few times....

I never carry less than 20 popup sprinkler heads with me at all times. Anything below 20 and you are just inviting disaster!!!

Lets see, I went to the store the other day & here's what I had:

2 jackets
my lock, which is HUGE (onguard rottweiler)
a bungee cord
1/2 gal. of milk
bag of broccoli
2 regular-size cans of food
1 big can of chicken chow mein
deodorant
about 4 or 5 cups of yogurt
a couple packs of Ramen on top

12 pack of Quilted Northern TP strapped to the back

wallet, bag of sunflower seeds, cellphone, another can of food in the front part.

(p.s. if you didn't catch the tread on backrests,
the Quilted Northern makes a great one!)

I went to the store the other day to pick up some things for my St. Patrick's Day Shindig. Of course I had stuff in my topcase, hanging from the hook, and just about anywhere else I could manage...but in the underseat compartment was the following:

1. Buddy Manual
2. Metro postcards
3. Toolkit
4. Extra gloves
5. Registration and other paperwork
6. And now for the exciting part...12 bottles of Guinness!

May want to watch out for underseat beer. It gets really warm in the pet carrier when you're riding!

That just means that;

A. You need to find a liquor store closer to your home, or;

B. You need to move closer to a liquor store. 8)

It was pretty cold out and the store wasn't far from home, so the beer was nice and cool when I unloaded it.

Syd, I really don't know what I'd do with a bunch of sprinkler heads, but nice try. :wink:

Plus, it's Guiness, it's not supposed to be cold!
