It's not just the height of the seat John....it's the width as ell. And I doubt your MB's seat is as wide as an R6. Go to a showroom and sit on one.

Did you have to reboot the Playstation after that?

She's not here yet then? OK...when you get here Yammie, can you have a tidy up around the forum....you know, bit of hoovering and dusting. 8) And put the kettle on as well Luv!

It certainly does help to be taller. I'm not tall (5ft 11ins), but I'm lucky that I have a shorter body and very long legs for my height. Other guys around my height have sat on my XT600 and they can only get one leg on the floor. Both mine reach the floor flat so there's no problem. I don't think sportsbikes are particularly high, but the lowest seat height I've seen on that type of bike is the ZZR600.

The only bone I've ever broken on a bike was my nose......2 weeks ago when I fell off my boy's DT175 messing about offroad. :oops:

Don't buy drinks for the Mullet Heads....they'll start singing "Number of the Beast".

You'll just get a few Gay jibes at the Honda. But if you'd said Suzuki...........then you'd really get abused!

What you riding mate?

Shit...that's bad. Check the breakers for a replacement.

We don't do virtual drinks mate....you must be confusing this place with another forum. No group hugs either....thank fuck! Just Yamaha motorcycles.....but hello anyway! 8)

Who Mozzy fucks is his business Alan. But is Loopy male or female though? :shock:

That was early 70's Alan....and there's no way I'm posting photos of that era! :oops:

I love Suzukis as much as I love genital warts! I like you though Amanda....you just need to break out from that cult of Suzuki ownership! 8)

As I mentioned in another thread yesterday, I rode out to the Forest of Dean to meet up with friends from the Welsh Sports and Tourers Club. Me and the wife got there about 1.30, but no sign of them. Stayed for a while, then rode home via Hereford. So when I got back home I found out that there'd been a serious accident amongst the group while making their way there. Unfortunately I found out today that the rider concerned (Andrew) was killed on a bend while riding his Hayabusa. I hadn't met him yet as he'd only recently joined the club, but you still feel the pain when you lose one of us. Sympathies to Andrew's family, and any condolence messages posted here will be copied to the tribute thread on the WSaTC Forum. One more thing guys, and I know I keep saying it.....but please be careful on your bikes.

And get your fucking haircut too!

I'm 50....so go to bed early without supper you cheeky little whippersnapper! I can remember when this place was all fields you know! 8)

See the other thread for an update.

That's the way to go. You have kids....your first priority has to be safety. If you don't feel confident yet, that's normal. Just take it steady and get the right advice. And that help has to be based on Real world riding, not trackday skills.

Yammie Girl....forget that track shite. Go to WH Smith asap and buy this: If you want riding help go to the Police Bikesafe courses....those guys can ride.

This is the time of the year when bad things happen. They don't have to happen....but some people choose to put themselves at risk. Usually sportsbikes I'm afraid.

They want your money Yammie. Riding round a flat, smooth track is not going to help you deal with traffic situations in the real world. Road training is what you need. It's early days, you need to develop slowly. The most important part is being safe....not fast cornering. If you don't feel confident on right handers, then slow down and get some experience in real world conditions.

You don't want track tuition Yammie.....you need to get road experience and help from advanced instructors. Road and track cornering are two different things....if you start applying track cornering to roads, you'll be in trouble. Like I said....road experience is what you need. Nothing fast or risky....forget about speed.....and work on being smooth.

You look about my age Yammie Girl! 8)

But I'm a lot older and heavier than you, so the riding position was not right for me.
