Pity you didn't post when you were in Adelaide - Brownhill Creek is literally five minutes from where I live.

And now ----> back to warm weather riding gear...

Hey, welcome to the forum Dee! We've chatted a couple times over at WildGuzzi, and it's good to see you made it over here too. I forgot you'd mentioned having an R45.

Anyway, welcome again, and enjoy! Great group of folks here!  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Steve

ps: You need to list your full stable of bikes here too, not just the BMWs...


Steve, I THOUGHT I recognized your handle.   :)

I'm too embarrassed to list the entire....herd. :-[

Dee,

Don't worry about listing your entire herd.  I for one would find it fascinating to see the list.    [smiley=lurker.gif]   I wish I had room to have more than one. Oh, yeah, I'd have to have time to have more than one also.   :-/   Someday.

Boy have I been outta touch..Thanks Dee and welcome!! Dee has supplied a sizing comment on the Moto Guzzi V7 in answer to my question!!! MG Sounds a good possibility. Dee is longer legged but then I do have my "Herman Munster" boots that give me almost 3 inches more leg at the heel! No kidding. It's mostly all in the Mickey Rooney heel lifts inside the boots plus the extra thick sole.
I usually buy a 31 inch inseam. But I'm gettin' older and maybe shrinking??? :o
Going after the seat with a knife has never bothered me so I would not hesitate to lower the seat and to make it narrower. The older I get the lighter and lower I like the bike seats! I don't think I am alone in this!!??

As stated...now back to warm weather gear! A non-issue for Trolle and I at the moment!
1983 R65LS - LRB still my favourite!? 1988 Honda NX250, "Toodles Too" and a Suzuki DR650, "Calypso." All stored in the "Brrrmmm Closet".
