Somehow for me there should be some sort of universal name. Since we both ride Taiwanese scooters, perhaps there is a universal name in Chinese that just doesn"t translate well to English.<br />Thanks for stopping by, you are always welcome.<br /><br />Jimcpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-59420842272917607212010-11-19T17:31:20.067-06:002010-11-19T17:31:20.067-06:00Cpa3485:

I don't know how it compares to others, but on my 150cc Buddy, I have had 8 sacks of groceries, 4 12-packs AND 2 gallons of milk on board with no real difficulties. I have seen too many motorcycles even attempt to carry similar loads. <br />Clothes and tools are easy to carry. Me? I'm a hunter/gatherer.

Research has shown that people suffering from this condition display symptoms such as confusion as to how to properly pack a 2 wheeled vehicle. They eventually are able to pack items, but not in any form of an optimal configuration. <br /><br />Other symptoms include jealousy towards other riders that display their own large "hooks" as they ride. This can lead to a related condition known as "Purse Hook Rage", similar to "road rage" where riders without adequate (or smaller sized hooks) "hooks" are frequently seen crying as they ride.<br /><br />The condition is closely related to other forms of equally debilitating forms of "envy" and the results can be just as damaging. <br /><br />My heart goes out to all who have to suffer from this form of illness.cpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-44210070079331497022010-11-18T15:02:18.594-06:002010-11-18T15:02:18.594-06:00Cpa3485/Jimbo:

I stopped riding my scooter has it didn't have as much storage as my V-strom with luggage. I have 124 litres of luggage, not counting under the seat where I store tools, wrenches, tire repair kit and my portable air compressor. I can still mount a tank bag and duffel on the rear seat. And If I need more storage I will strap it onto SonjaM's Nella, when she isn't looking. SO na-na-na-naaaa too.<br /><br />I can't stand the idea of a clock displaying the incorrect time. It's sort of like doing bookkeeping and financial statements and have them "almost" right, in a "sort of" way.<br /><br />It's too bad the manufacturers can't make the digits go backwards instead of always incrementing forward.<br /><br />I don't have a "purse hook" on my Strom, any idea where I could purchase one, I could mount it on my crash bars<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Wet Coast Scootin</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-85011651292189231212010-11-18T12:25:14.605-06:002010-11-18T12:25:14.605-06:00Dear CPA3485 (Jimbo):

The proper designation for this option (especially if you are a man from the great American Midwest) is a small animal carcass hook, used for bringing home the bodies od recently killed wildlife (varmints) for the pot. And should you find yourself questioned about this while riding through a huge urban environment (like Nebraska City or Auburn), respond with, "I hang my nuts from it when I get tired or carrying them around." <br /><br />By the way, I can carry 5 days worth or clothing, a 15" laptop, and oil and tools, withoput having to add a tank bag to my K75. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack • reep • Toad<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-47696180222562719172010-11-18T09:08:47.407-06:002010-11-18T09:08:47.407-06:00Michael,

For some reason that name has stuck in my feeble little mind. I suppose a more manly name would be "Man Bag Hook", not "Man Purse Hook" as you suggest. However, I never use it for my "Man Bag" as it usually resides in the top case while riding. So that name just doesn't seem right. I suppose another possible, non-gender related name, would be "Utility Hook", but that name is just plain boring.<br /><br />Nevertheless, I sometimes look forward to the challenge of carrying something unusual on Max. There was one day that Jayna asked me to bring home some pizza for supper, but then she said "You can't do that because you have the bike today". I said, "Not to worry", and it wasn't a problem at all.<br /><br />And I look forward to your challenge.<br /><br />Jimbocpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-69770102675198414192010-11-18T07:58:08.155-06:002010-11-18T07:58:08.155-06:00Not re-setting the clock- from one anal compulsiv...Not re-setting the clock- from one anal compulsive to another-should be a capital offense. <br />However I feel mortally offended because one day I shall fee myself from the family bonds and will ride to Kansas and we shall go to the store and I shall load more on the Bonneville than you can on the manpurse hook.<br />neena-neena-neena.Conchscooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016331487463993200noreply@blogger.com
