The closest I'll get to owning a Harley
My new observatory stool
Is it comfortable? Meh, the back rest is a waste of time, its too far back. but its reasonably comfy.
But does it look the goods?

Looks good, all you need now is a long, long beard, a leather vest and a ratty black open face helmet with the lining pulled out, oh, almost forgot, better get a bandana as well....

time to grow the hair and beard as well.
check your local mitre 10 out
Oh and if you do, have them open the box. The first one i bought home had a badly marked base. When I went back to exchange it we opened 4 boxes before we found one that wasn't marked. The top surfaces are chromed but the undersides are 'chrome' painted and where boxed up before the paint was dry. Very poor QA, but apart from that I can feel a ZZTop moment coming on. I've only ever had a beard a foot long, can i reach 2 feet LOL

That chair will pass my tick of approval if it spins all the way around (really fast)
Now what's this I hear on Ponders Bikini??
My radar searching on any weird pondering brought me to this thread...
Did he try one on
Did he get a bikini tan whilst falling asleep with one on
Does he wear speedos (that's kind of like a boys bikini right?!)
By the way, no one should wear those things these days, ah uh. Not cool.
Did someone paint sunscreen on him in the shape of a bikini
Or, more to the point, does he really wish he owned a bikini

Oh yes, an easy kick off give 2 1/2 rotations. I forgot to mention it is also gas lift. (that comment will bring some replies no doubt)
Hey, you guys are forgetting the golden rule:
"what happens on camp ...."
And if anyone mentions Borat I'll upchuck.

Geez, if one of my Harleys had a seat like that I'd rip it off and send it to the tip!
They are actually quite uncomfortable on a real bike
