Here is a tea tray holding my pint,

If id had a tail chop the pint would have been on the floor and i would have been damn mad

The tail chop is the process in which the tea tray is removed, not my cup of tea but others love it.

Cheers,

Shandy

The tea tray is useful for keeping fags, beer and cups of tea/coffee on whilst stopped with your biking chums. It also keeps the nasty spray off the back of your jacket. It is, to use a technical term, the bit of plastic above ya number plate guvnor.

People remove it because they are under the mistaken belief that it enhances the look of their bike. This is technically termed the Tail Chop i,e, to chop an integral part of your bike off including the frame.

Thus, I have started what is technically known as The Biggest Argument On A Forum......

If I removed my tea tray I would have no where to put my spex when I put my helmet on, plus it's all part of the arty farty work on mine

There's no flies on you Scrummy! I gave him the benefit of the doubt and thought it was a dog.

Shandy, post a picture of you wearing it. God, I hope it really is a wig.

ahh yes in my yoofull ignorance i choped my tail and it may look better or not, but what realy realy bothered me was the plastering of crud your back gets. If you use you bike in inclemant weather the chop is a no no and as such i have some proper ugly lumps of metal sticking out of the back

i think this is a bigger crime than metalic blue engine cases
