stick an oversuit under your seat and don't worry about it

Steve,

We all don't have space under our seats, in fact the 999 doesn't have a seat you can remove to get to the non-existent space!

If you change your bike you'll be in for a shock I tell ya!!

Space, running bike, no worrying about riding in the rain.... that's a fantasy of mine

no space under the seat

I might have to reconsider getting a 999 now - where the hell am I going to put my cream eggs?

Yup....

You can't even remove the seat without tools, in fact the tools are velcroed inside the side panel which requires a tool to remove the side panel???

You could always have a mini grill under your seat using the heatshield for your pipes, nice bacon sarny everytime you stop maybe? Plus this has the added benefit of slow cooking if you decide just to use one cylinder

ah, Ducati tool kits - mine consisted of a screwdriver and a spark plug spanner.

they use socket head screws everywhere (a good thing) but give you a screwdriver

a plug spanner, but nothing to get the bodywork off with

and nothing to adjust the chain with
