Fish Hill was better the second time round - if I'd had the time a third attempt would have been good! I'm not sure how low I got but and no matter how I stretched I still couldn't get the knee down - must have been going too slow
Good to meet you Baldyman, Joy, and to see SH again - I love that SV - though in all the excitment I didn't share intro's with the gixer 750 Cardiff geezer with the nicely shredded tyres - sorry bud
Beenz, you're a loon!
Joy - about the rider v pillion thing; its all down to how much you like bikes and whether you have an urge to ride I guess. Certainly once you've gone solo (with no bruises!) I doubt you will want to ride pillion again. Kamakazy had bikes years ago but it was a good ten years after our FZR600 before she bought Beenz's SV. A bit shakey to begin with but she hadn't had it a year before moving up to the gixxer thou - but then she just loved the idea of riding again. Her biggest problem is short legs and being able to reach the deck! If you have some desire or just a fancy to ride it's an almost cert you will love it when you get going. If you have no interest then its like anything else, then its difficult to muster up the effort. One thing for sure it is absolutely nothing like being pillion except you wear similar gear and are astride a bike.
Get a bike that you can reach the floor with some comfort and you will feel quite confident.
Hopefully Kamakazy will be fit for a ride out soon - perhaps it will be good for the two of you to meet so you can get a female response! Kaz doesn't like it when we blast off (although she doesn't hang about!!) and today was actually quite quick in a lot of places, generally its easier pace so if you thought today was ok it should be all
's !
I got back about 2.30pm the rest of the loons are still playing!!
Fish Hill - he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he
