nice pictures, but you could have ironed your trousers before getting on the bike. !!!!!!

Don't ride too fast with just a suit on. I had the lining stiching sucked out of brand new Paul Smith 'whistle' when making progress along the M4 to catch a Heathrow flight. I always tuck the jacket into the trousers above 80MPH now to prevent clothing malfunction.

crikey no posts for over a year and then 6 at once....

the ventura rack has been an excellent buy and has gone all over the UK, some of Ireland and Spain and Portugal carrying a deckchair, a tent, clothes, baguettes, maps and water bottles (both independently and at the same time). It fits around the panniers I now have and will be reinstalled for this easter's planned return to spain.

the suit, well you know what linen is like :roll: 10 secs after leaving the dry cleaners it looks like you've slept in it.. bought for my wedding in Indonesia hence pale & lightweight.

theseadog - probably the last time the S looked properly cleaned....

Julian, any pics of the tucked in suit?

Ade :D

Feck, that's funny. The last (and only) time I rode a bike with a suit on was a TS50ER to a job interview with a bank. It felt stupid and I didn't get the job... double whammy or a blessing in disguise? :lol:
