Re: How not to load a motorcycle
I cant work out quite what he intended to do when it went up the ramp, he would have still been a ground level unable to keep it upright and there was no-one in the pick-up to catch it!

Re: Sub Frame Rivnuts
If it was me I'd drill out the bolt and the subframe and put a long nut and bolt thru it..... or if it's on a pristine bike then for what it would cost I'd buy a second hand subframe.

Re: Kevlar Jeans

They have quite good kevlar panels and pockets in the knees to take armour but they are quite a loose fit meaning the legs may slide round or up the legs when going down the road meaning you would lose the prot...

Re: Luggage advise
if you're just using throwovers then I find mine fit very nicely across the front part of the seat, your then sat on the straps and they sit under knees....might be an issue if you're taking a pillion tho.
