I wouldn't say no to it being an inch lower. If I could get my arse into gear and lose some weight, I might be able to get the ball of my foot on the ground so I'm not entirely convinced that I need to lower it.
*strains to remember if she ever rode without the extra lard*
Better to thrash it to yours than to the bike's, at least in handling terms.
Power, on the other hand, is another matter...
Yes, it's a bit frustrating being on a heaphundred and plentyseven horsepower bike and only being able to use a little bit of it.
There's something totally grin-inducing about whacking the throttle right on and feeling the bike scramble to catch up with itself, eh.
Not that I'd know, cos I ride like a nana everywhere.

Then you should do what I do - my guitars follow this pattern: strat-o-like; les-paul-o-like; ovation-o-like ... good excuse for me sounding crap right there and you get more guitars per buck. I DO have a nice classical, a manuel rodriguez, but that must just be broken as it sounds as bad as that others.
Believe it or not this post is ON-TOPIC, just not very interesting. Not as interesting as a motogirl jelly-wresting smackdown involving naked something or other of 600cc, or whatever
(I have't been following that closely, just daydreaming really as I read)
Its On-Topic because give me money and I can deliver you motorbikes and guitars. You can never have enough of either. Ability aside, they give enormous pleasure of possession and sight. They're just beautiful man.
Now, ONLY guitars and motorbike fit the categorary of things you can own for the sake of owning without being a total tosser.
Doesn't apply to people with flash cars who can't drive them, or those who date supermodels and can't, erm, well
.
So go motogirl - you ride your tall bike however you want and love your bike for its intrinsic beauty.

Thats so touchingMy bike is there to be appreciated as much as it is to be ridden, and in some respects it's a symbol that I've achieved something in my life. I.e. it's the reward for my hard work. Plus, what else am I going to spend my money on?
I worked with a woman who thought I was crazy for "wasting" money on a bike. I said "That's OK, you waste your's on travel and I've got something to show for mine!" I guess life (in general) is about doing what you want with what you have![]()
Extra lard = extraluvin = reduced ground clearance.
But I'm a dirty old man......................
Motogirl you don't have to justify why you've bought what you have. Just enjoy it like others enjoy their machines no mater what cost,model,make etc it is.
Looking fwd to reffing the jelly wrestling. Is there a rule book?
Oh and some of us prefer bangos to geetaars.....
