You're not on your own there ! That said can't be as bad as it is for one of our own admins on here... Apparently he had his legs shortened as he got dizzy spells etc at anything over 4 foot 8 inches
Isn't that right ? Huh Tim isn't that right :smt003
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.
