    Me too. Can't be having with this armchair position - I always fall asleep in recliner chairs...

    Besides - in the sprotsbike position, you can leap off just before the bike goes over the cliff...

    Yes they are a very hard bike to take a picture of that does do them justice of what they look like in the flesh.

    This one I found online somewhere gets close.

    Congratulations and enjoy your new bike!

    I'm with you on that one...well the bit about the seating being a bit extreme...not so much about being an 'old fulla'...

    Congratulations on the new purchase, let me know if you're heading down this way ever and we'll catch up. I'll do like wise.

    You won't be disappointed. (in the gixxer, not in meeting me... )
