What the heck were you searching for to find this?


No, never mind, I REALLY don't want to know!

Was the search for gadgets or crotch?

and the stock number for the cup is???Just finished reading an article in this months Motorcycle Consumer Reports on a report done by some biomedical engineer that did a study on the angle of gas tanks with front end (Tbone) cycle crashes and found that as the angle of the seat to gas tank increase (20 degrees to 50 to 90) so does the amount of injuries, especially inernal injuries, pelvic fractures increase, along with missing johnsons and T bags. Good read. Had a bad example picture and it was a Triumph sport bike, could not make out the type. My take away was that a low angle provided a better launching ramp to the body on its way over the bars instead of making mashed potatoes out of the testosterone factory.

Wow Tom,
From your picture, you look like you keep yourself in good shape. That's good. I, on the other hand have let gravity kick my bu++ all over the place.

Hmm. Don't airbags deploy due with explosive force (enough to kill infants and small folk in cars)? Does it strike anyone else as a bad idea to aim an explosive bag capable of killing children directly into one's crotch.....

BTW, new to the group just got my speedmaster last week. Kind of appropriate for my first post to involve someone getting hit in the junk...

Looks like one of those ideas that someone came up with and ran with it without actually thinking it through first

I just found myself singing a song from the "Asylum Street Spankers".

and covered with hair.
Don't know what I'd do
if it wasn't there."
