The bottles are to carry spare final drive oil and detergent. Don't want to get banned from Starbucks for leaving oily marks on the car park.

It's a hell of a lot of effort for popping to Tesco.

Plenty of space for the over inflated ego. I hope it has a towing eye on the front, the AA man will need to use a winch or he'll put his back out.
To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

The twin flasks on the rear of the top box are a cracking idea, you can have a nice cuppa while you wait for the RAC. I assume the boxes on the side of the top box are for sandwiches ?

I guess it depends how much breakdown and insurance paperwork you need to carry with you on your travels.

Looks like the engine is fooked after carting all that weight around. Look at the grime on the suitcase...er, sorry, pannier closest to the exhaust. That's where all the oil is going!!

The specimen bottles are for carrying sperm and a turkey blaster because no self respecting woman will let a BMW rider hump her! So this is the only way they can spread the demon seed.
