    Yes, body weight is an issue - I had a RM125 that I couldn't even do tippytoes on but my husband who is only a tiny bit taller than me could reach the ground as the bike dropped more as he weighed more.

    But even those who've lost lots of weight can be comfy on it. I may have to drop the preload down a notch on the rear suspension now, though...
    You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.

    PC still stands for Personal Computer in my book.

    You are not fat mate, just too short for your skin.

    By the way, when are we doing doughnuts? I am on rostered days off at the mo, but am home bound with Mitchell. Samara was taken to hospital yesterday and may be there with her Mummy in support for a few days yet very sick. Poor wee girl!

    Will aim to catch up soon.

    I'm still very much house-bound at the mo. Another 6wks in the brace yet, so only get out occaisionally, like to got to the Doc. You're more than welcome to pop over, though if you can.

    Sorry to hear about wee Samara, you feel helpless when your babies are sick. Do give Di our love, eh?

    Mom, you need a surfboard and a tiger. No one will screw with it, and it has the bonus of bio-fuel and the low seat height.

    Triumph Bonneville, the version with the 17" mag wheels - 740mm seat height and 66hp. Very "short arse friendly"
    The views expressed above may not match yours - But that's the reason my Dad went to war - wasn't it?
    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, .... but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,... shouting "man, what a ride"!!!
