With so much recent controvesy with overlapping EVO issues, I would like to propose a new class that is my own personal cut of era:
SNOT - (Seat Not On the Tank)
For those who rode & crashed or crushed their jewels on steel, aluminium or even plastic tanks, you will relate to this in a special way :'( :'( :'(
IMHO, the bikes prior to the forward creeping seat, are just so much more elagant classic/vintage looking & in a politically correct society, did not discrimenate between the sexes ;D

Ahh man please delete this thread :)
Here comes 35 pages :) :)
I take your point re the nuts though!
-
Just in case anyone takes this seriously, it is indeed in jest although, I personally find the overlapping seats onto tanks unattractive ::)
-
The young girls I hung around with back in the day loved them. Didn't take too kindly to the gripper seats though. Ha

And you guys worry about VMX laws!!!
Nigeria
So whilst it’s illegal to import beer in Nigeria, it’s also illegal to brew it. But if you do manage to find it, drinking and purchasing beer is fine as long as you are over the age of 18. Confusing much?
Nebraska
Nebraska is home to several inexplicable beer laws including the one that says it’s illegal for you to sell beer on your premises unless you also happen to be making a kettle of soup. No word on if reheating a previously made batch of minestrone is technically acceptable or not.
Alaska and Ohio
Up in Alaska, it’s illegal to serve beer to a moose, we’re assuming because those hairy beasts can’t hold their liquor. Funnily enough though, further south in Ohio, it’s totally fine to give your fish beer as long as you don’t get it drunk. RSA takes on a whole different meaning.
Iowa
Popping in to bed with your wife? Better not have more than three sips of beer while in bed in the Corn Belt state or else you could risk a fine. No word on how regularly, if ever, this law in enforced.
Russia
Up until just a few years ago beer was not considered an alcoholic beverage in Russia, as the alcoholic content was less than 10 per cent. Instead it was considered a foodstuff and as such could be sold at all times of day and consumed openly in public. Though drinking laws have been strengthened in recent years, the legal drinking age of 18 is still loosely enforced.
Scotland
With laxer laws than other parts of the United Kingdom, Scotland nevertheless takes their drinking laws very seriously. Like the one that says a drunken man cannot be in possession of a cow.
Canada
Drinking beer in a Canadian bar and after a glass of water? Well if you’re in Saskatchewan then you’re out of luck. Drinking water whilst in a beer parlour is illegal in this region, however in any other Canadian province you’ll be fine. For added points, head over to the Sourdough Saloon and try the infamous Sourtoe cocktail.
With a gruesome secret ingredient (hint: it’s a preserved human toe), and a lot of alcohol, this drink is one to write home about. Just make sure you don’t swallow the toe – you’ll incur a hefty fine for the Saloon having to source a new, apparently ‘willing’ donor.
Texas
In the days of pre-Wikipedia, when home encyclopaedias were popular, it was illegal in Texas to own the Encyclopaedia Britannica because it contained a recipe for how to make beer in your home. Texan lawmakers would prefer you head to the pub instead.
Australia
Here’s a bizarrely enforced law in our own backyard. Did you know it is illegal to crush a beer can between your breasts in Western Australia? It’s true, so best restrain yourself when in the Golden State; this law set back a bar just outside of Perth a cool $1000.
And if your wondering about the Scot and the cow law it could be because some people just can't be trusted :o

You used to be able to buy a leather pad to fill the gap at the back of late 60s/early 70s Husky tanks and hide the mounting bolt there. This photo shows one:

Closer to home Mick there was a bloke caught in the hunter, the exact location escapes me, that was set the task of caring for a young ladies pony while she was away and care for it he did! ;)
They printed the animal lovers name etc in the local rag at the time and again during the court case.
Just for the record I hate horses.

When old mate Ron Beaver bought his new C15 scrambler I looked at the hump on the fuel tank abruoptly vertical from the seat I thought ' that wouldn't feel too good in the advent of a sudden unplanned abrupt stop'.
cheers.

Wal, I left two, small, symetrical dents in the top of the tank of my Compy AJ after landing off the big jump at Mt. Kembla, I walked with a stoop and the aid of two walking sticks for days after !!

"two, small, symmetrical dents in the top of the tank" They came out as standard on any HT, LT,AT,CT,DT, RT model Yamaha of the late 60s. early 70s ;)

My TMs might have come nice and neat with very rounded symmetrical lines - they just went with added symmetrical indentations that broke those original lines ......... grapefruit sized indentations 8)
