I can put my feet flat on the road with bent knees!

[Little Miss Trouble]

In my experience the factors that come into play when handling any bike while stationary are:

1) Confidence
2) Upper body strength
3) Height




Helpful advice, I know.

Also CoG of the bike, and funny as it might sound, the rider body position I.e. if you're both stretching to reach the ground, and leaning across the tank sportsbike style this steals a lot of core strength.

Being 5'3" I have a few more options open to me than some of the others ^^ but I refuse to build my boots up etc - even in the most diabolical weather I feel comfortable with either the balls of both feet, or one flat foot and a tiptoe on the tarmac.

Turns out my partner is 5'5" not 5'1" like she has being trying to tell me

Don't know what she is complaining about!

Trouble now is she has fallen in love with an Aprilia RS125 sitting on one today

Hehehe, well at least it won't be too far to fall if you trip over! Good to hear you finally got the mods done, always remember watching how you do a meerkat impression when you come to a stop/starting off on the bike!

Now, have you got the stebel mod as part of your noise making profession?

My bikes are feeling lonely now that the numbers of bikes at AC have dropped by one!
