Dress code

[ben lizard]

Be promoted at work{ by default really but the money gets spent just the same }

but the problem is it's a shirt and tie job and a lot of travelling to clients and so forth , so don't want to be hooning about going to client's office in me hagger slacks

so any ideas , the cbr might have to go , i ahve a tinbox already but it's blooming awful .

Seen the new aprilla capnord raid with the built on luggage which would prob be just the ticket but has any one seen one of these beasts in the flesh and how are bikes with panniers for filtering ?

If it's just luggage you want and can get changed when you get to work then why not just get a top box. I know they look a bit cr*p on a sports bike but I've got one on my blade and it doesn't affect handling too much, it still allows my to filter and keeps everything dry as a bone.

Neverf a problem for me. I take a fresh shirt/trousers every day in a tank bag. There's a knack for folding them to avoid creases!

Most clients are quite excited about a sportsbike in the company car park!

Often, the building reception will have an area where you can change and also somewhere to leave your leathers - the client need never know you've arrived by bike.

[sparkey]

I do the same sometimes - take shirt/trousers/shoes in a soft pannier and change when I get there.

- and when I'm walking though the clients office with leathers + lid I suddenly find lots of new friends who are also bikers that I didn't know about, but who come and have a chat.

Great for relationship building with customers

when working in the city I used to keep all my trousers at work, and get changed there. Failing that you can get one piece protective waterproof over gear which didnt crease my shirts etc..

Also I had a tail pack which is very handy, oxford one, that has a decent carry strap and also can be a rucksack.
