OMG! What a dreadful dilemma it would be. Sitting by the side of the road. Bike in strife;,needing oil; and a single can of Guinness. All to the bike? All to me? Half each?
It's strange stuff, Guinness. In the 70s I worked briefly in a pub in rural Ireland where, amongst other things, I learned to pour Guinness on tap. The tap had two positions—the first put the head on the beer and required less than a second before flicking to the second position which added the black magic. At 3/4 full you had to let it sit so the whole brew could settle before finishing it off. There was a thirsty chap used to come in after work every day for 3 pints on the way home. The first would be gone before I could finish pouring the second.
I'm not sure that has anything to do with motorcycling in general or the CB1100 in particular, but it seems one must always carry a can of Guinness when riding. Just in case.
