I know, I know....it's not 'food' for many, but in a pinch it will do just fine, and it made it back to the house quite a bit warmer than room temp.

Does it really say 'No Pets' in the pet carrier?!

Is livestock allowed?

Yes, and according to the sticker, apparently, felines are the more popular underseat 'passengers'...unless the graphic is supposed to represent a small dog, but it's hard to tell at a glance.

So, carrying Taco Bell takeout in there is OK, but not Panda Express?




I'm here all week, folks.

Here on MV, the underseat bucket is officially known as the "pet carrier". The label is the reason for that.

I'm not even kidding.

Go to an E.R. in Denver with stomach issues and one of the standard triage questions the intake nurse will ask you is Have you eaten at Taco Bell in the last 24 hours.... I shit you not.

I was pleasantly surprised the first time I noticed my takeout was nice and warm under the seat.

I'd warn against putting salads in the pet carrier, but who eats that nonsense? LOL

Is there a 30 page appendix in the owners manual defining what constitutes a pet?

If you can suck it through a straw, it's all good, but it can't be one of those 'chunky' flavors.

If so, that would be about 30 pages more than any truly useful information to be found in a modern motorbike's owner's manual.

29.

one page with simply tire pressure and oil type would solves a crap load of questions on this forum if people bothered to read

Maybe you'd prefer another oil topic instead?

I kid you not, that really was one of the details I really liked in Vespa.

A missed opportunity in many motorbikes.

My current bike would have a perfect and really hot place just behind the cylinders...there'd be just the right size slot for some warm snacks.

Instead, the manufacturer has filled the slot with aluminium decorations, 'carb' look-alikes.
