    I met a very nice KB couple the other day. He has a Hayabusa, and she has a scooter. I asked her what her scooter was and she said, "a blue one.."

    I met a very nice KB couple the other day ... HE had a scooter and SHE had a Bandit. (it may have been a blue one)

    Both knew exactly what they had ... Motorbikes.

    70kg aint a stick, lol. Guess it depends how tall you are I guess...
    Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.

    Ratti and Bald Eagle ARE a very nice KB couple. And we both have bikes...and they are both black. But Ratti's is bigger than BE's, and older and tattier. His is shiny, until I lead him up back roads that turn into tracks....

    seriously, the most common bikes I see at the SlowPaced rides I run are scorpios. Bit narrow in the seat for a generous butt, I would have thought, but I do know a 6'2 woman who learned to ride on one ( she now has Hornet ) and now her Hubby is learning to ride the scorp.
