    Just a thought
    Could do. I was thinking of a ride that was 3 hours max but that was just me (I have to come home and polish my garage ).

    Suppose we would get home about 2 which isn't too bad. mmmm decisions.

    Probably won't end up leaving to about 11 a.m. gives 2 hours to get to mercer via the back roads and 1/2 hour cuppa with the BTPR guys (they are the one's that came on the teddy bear run with us - good bunch) and straight back - yeah about 3 hours and a little bit. Me & Trina are in - hands up anyone else?????

    If it takes you more than 2 1/2 hours to get back from Mercer theres something wrong. Don't worry we will look after you, it will be a good ride to get the confidence back and the weather forecast is all

    haha bugger. Depends where your leg is plastered. As long as it's not full leg and you can move enough for the brake/gear you'll be fine!

    That's gotta suck though. Jump on the back of a bike.

    Get the Hyosung lowered. Cost about $100. If you like it, why not?

    Hoysung 250 GT!! too heavy?

    maybe it's more about the bike being to tall for you, or wrong riding position for you (weight too far forward)
    I would suggest talking to some one you can trust, discuss what happened leading up to when you fell off, then get your bike set up for you
    Lifes Just one big ride - buckle up or hang on

    You can geta bike lowered?! How?! Lol you learn something every day...

    Hmm maybe I'll have to come along one wed and have a good talk to people. There are some other things I need to tweak that I'm not competely comfortable fiddling with on my own that would be good to get some help with too... Yay for being a noob!

    But yeah, it's not too heavy as much as being a bit too tall mixed with the weight feeling kinda high, so as soon as it starts going over it keeps going. Specially when you dont manage to get a foot on the ground...

    Does'nt really help that Zenith is a chic and about 5' high..

    She does make a very good pillion though



    Zenith - Gutted to hear about the leg though bud. When Carver get reincarnated as a short chic then would be a good time to listen to online advise from him
    For mine is the suffering, and the power, and the glory, two wheels for ever and ever, amen.

    i taught a girl to ride yesterday

    no bins

    i have two trials bikes.
    i can teach you how to do a few things on them.
    very light, no seat, wide bars, low gears....
    and i can ride them properly, and the skills are transferable

    but if you dont want to, sweet, your loss.
