There seems to be an ironing board attached to the back of your nice motorcycle .;D

Yah, that is what we had for sissy bars back in the day.  And I remember the day.  My CB750K7 has one like that and it was great for the girls, great for holding sleeping bags on trips and it was the deal back then.  Some of those go for nice $$$ on eBay.
