Hi

I am a new rider, had a wee cruiser, now have an old bandit but finding centre of gravity more suited to someone less vertically challenged!
At least Christchurch is flat!!

yes,the first time you stop across a slope and find you cant reach the ground on the donwhill side is a defining moment in many welly riders lives i suspect

Welcome to the site from another cantab

Thanks for the warm welcome, and several reasons to grin!

I did love my cruiser but it was only a 150, and I wanted a wee bit more

I can relate to "the first time you stop across a slope and find you cant reach the ground on the donwhill side is a defining moment "

Welcome from one short arse to another

Welcome to KB, short arses are in good company in here.

One of the reasons I love my 600 is because it has a low seat height and I can get balls of my feet on the ground. You will become really adept at locating ideal spots to stop after a while.

Hurrow and welcome from another short-arse

**vifferman** · 1st April 2009, 08:57

Welcome! Hope you have fun on here and make lotsa friends.

Nice name - are you really all of those things?

**bittertwistedcute** · 9th April 2009, 17:21

Thanks folks, glad there are some shorties out there!

I am still contemplating my next baby, sat on a xelvis? today and even tho it is odd looking it did fit, viragos are ok too, and the lifan delta - which doesn't excite me much

Short, not too leaning over, lighter and pretty is my wish list LOL

Oh, and yes, I am all those things, maybe not so bitter but its good to pretend!
