    Fingers crossed my feet reach the ground.

    Oh, it also involves a road trip

    I gave up on the buell owning wankers

    I have been emailing a bloke in HB, when I suggested I arrange someone to come and have a look for me he went silent! 3 days and nothing back. Hmmmmmmmm...

    Blah, blah, blah...have to raise the seat height

    Hey Mom... check out PrincessBandit's 650 Bandit.
    I've ridden it... VERY smooth, grunty, and fuels VERY nicely.
    Would be "just the dog's borrocks", as Nori Haga would say.....

    Good. Can't say I regularly swipe 'er indoors ER6F but nonetheless it's a damn fine bit of kit. Likely get an F in your favourite snot green too.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    If she fits a 650 Bandit or ER6N, a Wee Strom would not be a problem.

    My wife is 5ft1 and has always had trouble with the feet touching the ground.We got her a Triumph Speed 4 and fitted a soupy performance lowering link from the USA.You will never get her of that bike again.With a dry weight of 173 kg its a breeze for her to ride.
