Thinking Outside of the Box?

That's just where clever BMW Motorrad designers think I should store my helmet (when parked!).

This clever vario box supplied with my R1200GS is a frankfurter's diameter too small to store my helmet.

Clever!



In other news I say goodbye to Ferguson Doodlebug as she has now wandered down to Wolverhampton with a new owner who has "plans" for her.

Goodbye and I hope that the cheque doesn't bounce

  1. How large is you noggin that the helmet won't fit in that huge box?? Know someone at work that has the same difficult...his XL side head/helmet doesn't fit in any cases.

    Goodbye Doodlebug!! (Which one was Doodlebug?)

  2. I was thinking the same thing as Lori.

    Is it the size of the case or the size of the helmet? Hmmmm.

  5. Nikos:

    I'm surprised you didn't insist upon certified (Guaranteed) funds. Once the bike is transferred it will be too late

    Is your helmet the only thing that is oversized ?

  6. 'Ferguson Doodlebug' must be the name of a very noisy motorcycle, in which case it'll probably be very happy in Wolverhampton - I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.

  7. WRT Vario Top Box: To bore you all further, a Shoei XR1100 size XL helmet does not fit whereas a Shoei XR1000 size XL does.

    My head fits in both of these helmets and is perfectly proportioned to most of the rest of my appendages thank you Bob and Rogy.

    Gadjo - I'm not worried!

  8. Doodlebug because like all BMW's, it cost a bomb.
