You are obviously not vertically challenged! Try being 155cm tall and you will think the height of a Goose seat just perfect! I can touch both feet flat to the ground and that's the way I like it. The seat is damned hard though and I must do something about it. I have a sheepskin now that makes some difference, but it's like sitting on a piece of four by two!

You have owned some great bikes, Rhino.
YL-1's are a hard-case machine, how the heck did you cope with the "WIDE-RATIO" 4 speeder in race trim?

R-5's are neat, I'll have to scan some more pics of my old man (RIP) doing some "off-roading" on his road-trim one back in 1971-72-ish.
He looks cool, esp with the pipe hanging from his mouth !!!!!
