    So many questions for the lad, Its fine and stable on a straight line motorway but how can he handle it on corners. Its amazing that he can ride the bike and its not a small cc by any means......

    Fair play.

    I know.....as I said so many questions. Cant see if he has the rear sets even adapted he looks like he has his feet swinging back and resting on the pillion pegs! If he rolls up to a set of red lights whats the plan?

    Can't find it but I've see a clip where a dwarf/midget/vertically challenged individual rides a CBR1000. Basically they can hold the bike standing next to it and when it's time to move off it's popped into gear and they hop on like you'd do a running hop onto a bicycle back when you were wee young lads. Procedure done in reverse when coming to a stop.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
