....parted company with the bike this afternoon. So if you're on the A47 near Peterborough and find one, it's mine!

Oh no - I totally sympathise.

Mine came off last summer and went under a bus!! My own fault, didn't clip it on completely. Replacements aren't easy to come by - well the pads are, it's the brackets underneath that are hard to find!

I have to confess.....it happened twice today!

First time it smacked me in the back. Oh what fun trying to hold onto the seat and stop the bike from 90mph on the A1!

Second time I didn't notice til my mate riding behind me came steaming past and waved me over. Turns out he had to duck to avoid it! Reckons it landed in the middle of the carriageway but by the time we got back to look for it there was no sign.

I have a spare, in blue, that I can use for now.

But......I've just ordered a single seat unit to fit with the original front seat pad and rear mudguard. Saves me faffing about trying to get another seat and rear bodywork sorted out, cos mine is missing various chunks!

Should be here in a couple of weeks along with my new fairing, which will then all need painting. Ah well....it's only money!

Yep guilty of the same offence A$130+ new from Yamaha in Brisbane. Pete850 is onto a good fix though

I lost mine the other day on he way back from the Superbikes! Just before the tolls. So I parked the bike, prayed no one would run over it, walled back & got it from the middle of the etoll lane!!

Jez did that cause a stir in the toll booths! Ha wasn't gona leave the bloody thing there! Only a graze on one corner of the covering.

PLEASE RETURN TO YOUR VEHICHLE, THIS IS A NO STOPPING ZONE" For the tenth time as I'm kicking the bike in the guts.
