Heh. I don't think that would be a healthy action for the cyberdeck in
all honesty. It may influence it's ability to function. :)

I've noticed that, and in all honesty I'm somewhat puzzled where this
space comes from. :) The graphics they've used for the bikes doesn't
imply there's up to 2cf under the seat. :)

Hehe, yep, mileage definitely varies, it's better out of town. <g>

Again, in the case of most scooters, the fuel tank is under the seat -
go figure. But yes, I have seen Honda scooters with enough room for an
eggshell (open face) helmet.
