Well if I had any disposable income that would be sold by now !
So unless I sell the red one first to fund it ...,

That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Hmmm
My son wants to get a "new" bike but .....
  • 1) He's got very short legs (I've managed to convince him my Falco is too tall for him .... but I've got the back jacked up as high as it'll go .... the strategy has worked so far!)
    Guess I need to talk to Pete about how successfully they can be lowered from stock without cocking up the handling.
    2) Not sure I want him riding anything as quick as a Falco (anyone got the old restrictor plate I can stick in there while he's not looking?)

How tall/short is he?

I'm 5"7 and have no problem with the Falco at all. I have a WP shock so unsure if it's the same length, and tehrefore seat height, but it's on standard Falco linkages so I'm assuming so.

It's not so much his overall height but the length of his legs. Couldn't tell you any actual dimensions !

Seems crazy when I don't think I'm that old myself.

From what Pete says that's just a symptom of your age your old enough to either forget how old you are or can't count that high

Haha cheers ..... however having mentioned it to him last night, I don't think it's going to happen.
Sorry to get your hopes up.
