haha, wish I could get away with that now!

Theres the back door and front door, both with big lips on the bottom that Id have to come up with a little ramp for. Girlfriend didnt really appreciate the wheelspin I did on the laminate floor either, trying to get it over the last one.

I wouldnt mind so much if you could see out the bloody things anyway, might as well just take them off and leave them off for all the use they are

You learn in time to look through the gap between body and arm and thus they arn't that bad then.

Although riding along looking like you are doing the bloody birdy song can attract some strange looks.

unfortunately a little bit vertically challenged, so its easier for me to tuck my arm in and go into a racing crouch, must look like a right pillock. But hey, its Italian, your not supposed to be looking back i suppose

Hmmm ... you might want to check for plod behind you before opening up and also for someone overtaking you so you don't wipe each other out.

I have the left one tucked in so I can flap my arm and see through the gap, and the right one is set wide for a "lifesaver check" before overtaking by tucking right arm in. Not brilliant, but it's functional.

hmmmm, might be an idea, not bothered messing around with the angles yet, ill give it a try! might even save my license...

Can you not get the front end of the bike through the door at an angle first, so one mirror goes through, shortly followed by the next? might need tipping slightly to one side too...

haha jpm thats the way i do it.

plenty experience of getting things that are bigger into smaller spaces i see.
