Actually, that thread was pointing out that the 50cc version of my bike is still too tall so there's no reason I should buy a "smaller" bike.

haha I don't mind if Goblin links to a post because I can edit it (not that I'm going to)

If people actually read the thread they'll see my later comments where I specifically state that even the "small" bikes are tall so why compromise on owning what I actually want. See? Back on topic now!

I don't know about the rest of you, but I, personally, would pay a reasonable admission fee to watch MotoGirl and Goblin settle this via jelly wrestling.

I'll go and hide back hide under my bridge then.....................See you soon.

On a side note, a KB member told me yesterday that I should buy a smaller bike because mine's so tall.

My response was that I must have (read "not negotiable'") a full fairing v-twin and, even though I'm not prepared to change, I would be interested to see any suggestions that meet my criteria for a 600cc bike.

Apparantly, those who haven't seen me ride are qualified to comment on my skills (or lack thereof). Whatever guys!

Keep your current bike and eat more pies and you'll reach the deck quite happily in a few months time.

But it must be naked. It'll give me the advantage over my blinded opponent

**Bonez** · 20th November 2007, 19:12

Can I be referee? Ha? Ha? Can I? Can I?

That's ok....the paying audience would be blinded by the both of us.

Yeah Bonez...you're officially ref! Make sure you wear your welding glasses.

Thats right...Nobody dictates how fast you have to ride,on your bike.. Only a fools can say that.The bike is your property and what you do with it is your bussiness. And just in case we follow their logic and do what we are suppouse to do ,so what they say,than if something goes wrong ,they wont be responsible for the outcome are they?
So stuff themmmmmm....

That's a valid point

I tend to pootle a bit on my bike, even on rides with much faster riders. I'm not going to risk buggering my bike just to keep up when I'm obviously not comfortable at those kind of speeds. THAT is how I want to ride.
