No, but I once saw a fat bloke riding an old moped wiyh the cheeks of his arse rubbing the rear wheel.
The saddle was nowhere to be seen and his cheeks were like saddlebags.

Okay well i had to get a slightly angled manifold so carb was also at an angle away from wheel then i could slot the filter on fine without it rubbing up against the back wheel, was abit of a pain tho
