Size has never made motorcycling challenging for me.

Seriously though Finn... how tall are you? As Her_b4 and I are both just over 5ft.... but a few inches taller can makes a huge difference on a bike, and I reckon what she has done 100% achieves that.

6ft 10 on the inside, 5ft 10 on the outside.

The perfect size for a biker.

5ft 10 on the outside.

Well that makes you a giant next to me Not sure why people call you short?!

[SDU]

the one i was feeling a wee bit short for was the superduke - it's the only one that feels like a driveway might get the better of me if i had to break in the middle and put the feet down...

LOL - it's every drive on any bike (except a scooter maybe) that gets me.......

BUT all sorted now and now I have a decent grip on the ground.

Here is pic of my revamped boots - hope they have come out ok...

Thanks for the piccie. How comfy is it to change gear.

Sounds like you're being blasting around the track for a play ASAP

Actually, once the gear lever was adjusted it was very comfortable. Don't forget though that I ride with the balls of my feet on the foot pegs so I will always have to move my foot to change gear. The benefits of being to comfortably touching the ground with more than big toe (or nothing!!) on one side far outweigh any inconvenience of not being able to feel the foot peg/gear lever to any great degree .

I have been advised though of a relatively easy solution regarding the lack of sensation from such a huge wad of a sole, and that is to make a smallish circular cut in the bottom of the sole up to just short of the boot sole. The movement of this piece against the bottom of your foot will provide the necessary feedback.
