Surely the most important accessory for the discerning GS rider?

GPS!!!! Na you don't want to bother with all that. Simply fill bowl, enjoy smoke, point pipe in required direction of travel and the rest will all fall into place.
Note: Pipe can also be used for tapping things, pointing things out to spotty youths whilst starting all conversations with "Back in my day", giving directions to ladies on horseback and all other manner of usefull applications. They really are a very under used piece of kit.
Brilliant!

Is that a straight-stemmed Sweet and Light? Beautiful tight grained walnut bowl if I'm not mistaken; small diameter, but deeply satisfying smoke. I drew on one of those back in the day when I cut a dash on my old R32. Didn't have the Ram Mount back then of course, I fashioned a handlebar holder from a Messerschmitt BF 109E firing switch. Excellent piece of kit, but very heavy; caused the bike to lurch erratically to the left every time I doffed my hat to a young damsel in the passing. Chaps were forever having to drag me out of ladies bushes!

Welcome to the fold. Good to see another "Brother of the bowl" amongst us. What kind of bike do you have and can you do skids?
A bit off topic I know but I am in need of some mercury to sort out my top hat as she's looking a bit tired these days. Anyone up in the Granite city who can supply?

Not just this year - For a pipe extravaganza look for 'A top pipe and slippers event' by Whatton back in 2005.

Thankyou, the GS1200 is my current bike of choice. I have been known to perform the odd skid, never intentional though!
I recall a deranged fellow who ran an excellent hatters and milliners in Belmont Street in Aberdeen, he sold, repaired and re-quicksilvered top hats to the motorcycling fraternity of the day. I remember my Great Uncle Theodore El-Stoopido sourced a particularly good 18" topper complete with guardsman chinstrap. If my memory serves, I believe he suffered due to the large surface area presented to the wind when riding which would exert an unwieldy force against the hat, and consequently the wearers chin. He often told my mother that after a particularly vigorous thrash he would discover he had torn his chinstrap!
I think there is some footage of my Great Uncle taking part in the 1904 Isle of Man TT wearing the very hat! He was riding an early Croxteth Cuthberson 306cc Valient single. Being a marine sanitary engineer to trade, his pipe holder was commisioned from various spare parts of ships architecture. Being mostly brass it weighed in at around 45lbs and was riveted to the left side of his handlebars (much heavier than my contraption on the R32). It was so heavy he had to offset the weight by hanging a small boy off the right side of the bar. This of course had the advantage that the boy could be trained to hold the throttle pinned, thus allowing Theodore to fill a bowl as he rattled through St Johns.
He was narrowly pipped to the circuit speed record by Reginald Guthrie who completed the circuit with average velocity of 18.4 mph. Reginald was a cigar man, so the two clearly never got on. At that time some of the younger lads were starting to smoke those small cigarellos. Two years later smoking was banned at the TT. My uncle said that ruined the sport. He ended his days in poverty and drink. Always enjoyed his pipe though!
I'm afraid the hatters and milliners in Belmont Street is no longer open, and I have no idea where you can get your topper serviced.
Great Uncle Theodore
