Even if you can't speak french, look at the pictures and think about it.... the accessory for real iron butt riders.  |

I think they call those "Depends" here in the USA.
The astronauts use the heavy duty versions.

Dennis,
I ride long distances, but there is a limit to certain things. I will just stop in the woods, heaven knows what's in the little girls room at the gas station.

I saw that French ad at another forum, but when I went to the Tena site, I can't find that ad at the french language site. The australian site has lots of pictures of guys on motorcycles. But the best line is the one from that french ad I posted... the headline says: "It's not a mechanical problem that is going to stop you."  The gas stations that wierd me out are the ones where you can't pay at the pump, and when you go in to pay, the attendant, who looks to be straight out of "Deliverance", put your info on a credit card slip by hand, and then pulls out one of those card imprinter gizmos from under the counter.... I don't even want to use the restroom at one of those stops. Just get the heck out of there!! and then watch for the charge on my credit card bill to make sure they didn't add a bunch of zeros to the amount.  |

..... It's tough enough getting flack for riding a "kiddie toy". tell me about it. when i went to get my VIN check on my 250cc scoot the deputy said "you want a vin check on your little scooter there?" the local law around here won't even pull over a 150cc scoot if they have no tags. i'm beginning to wonder if i could've slid my 250 under their noses. |

I don't even get "nice moped!" comments out of kids. But I do still ocassionally get jeers from HD wannabee young punks in old pickup trucks with flapping fenders and HD stickers. |

Yeah, but I do... and when I got the Helix, the "nice moped, mister", or "how long is your license suspended for?" comments stopped! Cause the Helix is so freakin long and wierd looking! Now I more often get... "what do you call that?" Answer: "A bigass scooter!! |

the picture doesn't do it justice.
that bike of mine weighs 300 pounds, she's a big one to be sure.
i know what you mean about the helix.
that thing reminds me of a boat or a whale.
