Seriously wtf is up with my piss poor posture? I really need a sports bike, then maybe I won't look like such a TARD.

Anyway, GO THE GINNY!

Paul's right - your hands are too close to your shoulders ... that's why you're sitting on the bike in such an odd way ..

Those crappy bars are one reason I think Ginnies are shit to ride ... (sorry, I know you love yours ..when you get a real bike you're realise ...)

(And no - it doesn't really make your arse look big ...)

I have a very odd habit of leaning forward for some reason, I don't sit upright. Hence me looking like some form of neanderthal or monkey or something. Unfortunately I still look like one even when I'm not on the bike and especially with my helmet off! :crazy:



(And no - it doesn't really make your arse look big ...)

Phew, I can relax now!

[Edbear]

You look fine! As Paul said, the bars are way wrong and you need much lower.

Look at most pics of riders, though and many appear more hunched than you do here.

Most Ginny riders I've seen look like that... except for those who sit on the rear seat. :laugh:

[Paul in NZ]

From memory Jazz who used to be a regular here before departing back to Scotland had real issues with her Ginny as she used to get the handlebars stuck when on full lock. She was petite and the sill bars would end up with one tucked into her armpit and the other out of reach and it just looked ungainly beyond reason.

I fitted some old BSA A10 pattern handlebars I had laying about. Took 20 mins or so - maybe a little longer and the bike and her comfort were transformed. The std GN handlebars are shocking things.....

[F5 Dave]

An old gf had the lower bars fitted & it helped immensely. Think I had actually mentioned that to Jazz at some stage. Mind you my ex gf hopped my 4cyl CBX550 & was immediately more comfortable, at least putting around some obstacles in a carpark (I was helping out on riding courses back in the day).

Those std bars are pants.

Yup - all about the same time from memory Dave...

IMHO those bars are actually a bit dangerous.....

[Tigadee]

Reminds me of a Suzi 1200 Bandit on Trade Me that the owner had fitted cruiser bars! :facepalm:

[Banditbandit]

But what about those square section tyres??? Are they standard on a Ginnie ?? They would make it handle like a loaded concrete mixer ..

[Grashopper]

But until you get new handle bars, try lowering the ones you have. You just need to loosen those three screws in the center of the handlebar and then it move down. You can put them even lower than mine. Try different settings and then stick with what you feel most comfortable with.

I've heard really bad things about the original tyres GNs came with. But those can't be still the original set, right? That would make them 8 years old...:crazy:

Those arent factory if thats what you mean? I need to get new ones anyway. Sugilite said the front one's rubber is old, getting cracks at it. He also said my rear tyre looks like it came off a car!

Getting new handlebars sounds expensive! Maybe I can get M to lower the existing ones like you?

Not original I'm pretty sure no. The Chinaman I bought the bike from in November told me the owner previous to him changed the tyres at the end of 2008 or something. BUT the front and rear tyres are different, not even from the same manufacturer?! So yea they're at least 5-6 years old.

[Swoop]

Cargo pockets on trou?

Didn't know anyone made bike trousers like that.

[F5 Dave]

. . Getting new handlebars sounds expensive! Maybe I can get M to lower the existing ones like you?
About the price of a couple of tanks of gas in the Ginnie. As long as you have someone help select & fit them some lower rise bars will be cheap & easy. rotating the std bars are just going to put you in an even odder position.

Hmm

Are you not going on some road trip soon? If you get to Kapiti I'll stick a set on for you - bound to have some about. If not I'd say $40 or so and an hour at a shop to swap em.

[p.dath]

When on the track, try sitting much further back on your seat, so you can lean forward a lot more.

[nerrrd]

Welcome to the family! The bells, the bells...

I changed the bars on my bike, but only so I could have manlier ones with factory heated grips. Screw you, back!

And yours is probably the least worst posture I've seen of other Ginny riders around Auckland anyway.

Go custom! Paint some flames on the tank while you're at it!

[Banditbandit]

Those arent factory if thats what you mean? I need to get new ones anyway. Sugilite said the front one's rubber is old, getting cracks at it.

SHIT .. get it changed before it blows out and throws you off ...


He also said my rear tyre looks like it came off a car!

Yeah . it looks exactly like a car tyre .. get a decent bike one .. it will make the bike handle better.

Bars are not that expensive ... but fitting them might be ... if it's a bolt-off/bolt-on job then it's only time and a half-way decent amateur can help you ... if the cables need to be shorter then it will start to cost you ... because you will need new cables etc ..

[huff3r]

Poor GN looks so silly with a screen! Although I envy it slightly just because of the buffeting from not having one.

Still reminds me of the "transition" lenses I used to have in my glasses... before I realised they were the reason small children were frightened of me :killingme

[Grashopper]

After having a go on bosslady's GN the other day I want a screen, too. Makes sitting on highway speed so much easier. I have to pretty much lie on my tank at anything over 80kph on my bike.

[Devil]

When on the track, try sitting much further back on your seat, so you can lean forward a lot more.

Any requirement to lean forward is dependent on the bike. I wouldn't suggest moving your body mass backwards on a gn as it would put you out of wack with the footpeg position, decreasing control and the ability to lock onto the bike. Keeping your arse above the footpegs tends to put you in the right position automatically.
Cruisers with forward controls are obviously an exception.

Bloody hell - run your GN down here as well and we will have a mass handlebar change out.... screen fitment day ;-)

Totally agree - sitting to far forward and this is making your knees to far forward

Even been up where the pillon sits when I had the CB.
Does nothing but ease the numb arse and give the legs a bit of stretch...its a GN, the often used term ''getting under the paint'' wont make any difference where this bike is concerned, it is not a track/race bike is it?
I am more impressed with her head position whilst cornering, shows why she is out there in the first place.

With reference to being on the track again; take a look at where her knees are in the picture. They are almost touching the forks. If she moves all the way back on the seat she will be in a better position with the foot pegs. She should also consider lifting her weight off the bike on approach to and around corners by standing on the pegs more.

She is currently riding the bike like she is a passenger on it, and just sitting there, as opposed to riding and controlling it. :)

[pritch]

I know this is KB and there will be a great divergence of opinions. Until Bosslady aspires to ride on the track seriously, sitting there like a sack of spuds with instep on the pegs is just fine.

A more suitable set of bars might help but a new set of tyres sounds more urgent...

Spot on. I've tried moving my fat arse backwards on the seat. Result is less control of my bike. She ain't no sports bike, am a bit too far away from the tank don't have as much for my knees to grip on to and the handlebars are so high they might as well be mid air. Also I just end up sliding forwards anyway the Ginny seat ain't exactly grippy...

Correct. Do it to stretch when I'm riding, nothing more, it's pointless.

You've met me, have you seen how tall I am? About your height I think, 5ft 8 or so. I'm more legs than torso (just a pity they're not tanned and thin!) I'm verging on being too big for this bike and not just cause I need to lose a few (or more than a few..) I bet you'd look all kinds of ridiculous if you sat on my bike too :lol: I have better control of my bike with how I am sitting, trust me I have tried. You are right in lifting my caboose off the seat on approach to and around corners though, however that will come with time I am sure...Also well have to agree to disagree on your end statement :)

First, let me just say you don't buy tyres on price, unless you are an idiot. You don't sound like one. Get the best one's you can afford, nothing less.
You should be able to get some bars for less than $50, maybe even try the wreckers. There will be lots here that will help you fit them for nothing, myself included if you come to south auckland.

[Devil]

Well, not 100% fair there, Andy. She can still shop around for price, BUT completely agree that you shouldn't be going for cheap tyres. You want good tyres as cheap as possible!

As a side note, just bought a car that had "4 new tyres" on it. Oh yeah, they're new alright, but they're so cheap that they're actually dangerous in the wet. It's ridiculous. I cant even tell which is the brand and which is the model "Mystique", "Blue Streak".

I went with Pirelli City Demon on mine. Pretty reasonable price, and I've heard good things about them on GNs. Haven't had any issues with it so far, although I do really need to change the front.

[SILVER SUZI]

So at nearly 6 ft tall, why did you buy a GN?
This is NOT a piss take, I'm genuinely curious. I can understand the vertically challenged buying one, but even as a learner there must be better options out there.
Have you had the opportunity to ride any other bikes? What were they and were they more comfy?

Oh no, I understand. I just wanted to see if I could get the same tyres I was quoted, cheaper, which I have. Not so much about getting cheap tyres, as such.

Pirelli City Demon's. Quoted $350 incl. fitting but am able to get them somewhere else for more than $100 cheaper, fitted. See... shopping around! Pretty sure he's not making any money off that though so a sweet deal.

Why....
1. Money, it's a cheap bike sports or otherwise were more expensive and older
2. Cheap to maintain, apparently, it's a simple bike - not too much to it
3. No fairings, which is good cause I've dropped my bike multiple times
4. Every man and his dog seemed to reccommend it as a good learner bike
5. I bought it myself without the aid of a MAN

And no, I never had the opportunity to try any other bikes, I didn't have anyone to help me with my purchase.

[Big Dave]

Tyres are rated for the type of work they are intended to do. It's in code on the tyre.

Michelin's for example:

'The code comprises three characters: two numbers and a letter, for example, 67H.The two-digit number is a code for the maximum load carrying capacity of the tire. The letter is a maximum speed rating indicating the maximum speed at which the tire may be used with maximum load when the maximum listed inflation pressure is used.'

You don't need tyres rated for 300kph and 300kg on a GN.

'Cheaper' tyres will do that job. Choose a reputable brand and get the correct rating for the application. Personally I'd be expecting to pay around $200 for the set - but that's a guess.

I am 5' 10'' and bought one for my first bike...why? because I like brand new things and it was affordable at $2995.
At the time, I had no idea what sort of bike I would eventually end up owning/liking. The GN is a good bike to learn on, and you can easily sort out in your head what style of bike you may prefer, whilst riding one.
