when you buy my 2010 xb12xt, only 1600 miles,(low mileage for a tankbag),c'mon c'mon, springs here, you need this bike !! Spotless original condition, spare seat and new airbox cover, pm me for more info ta

I like the sales pitch.

Ulys are waaaayy too tall for a shortarse like me tho.

You say it is a new airbox cover?

You wouldn't have the old one would you?
I'm looking for a spare w/o vents to get creative with.

Fraid so.....and i've asked you before, don't call me shiny
Shirley having a short arse wouldnt limit your vehicular choice, i'd have thought how far it was from the ground would be far more important

These people that say they have short legs ............................never have understood what they mean.............have you ever seen anybody with legs that don't reach to their arse.........where the fuck do they want them to join the rest of their body

I totally agree, its far more important for legs to be joined to the body, and to be approximately the same length, thus giving some degree of straight line stability and cornering cohesion, than to have them flailing around near ones arse (short or otherwise)

Not having mastered the art of levitation, my feet are usually near the ground.

I especially like this to be the case when coming to a halt on a motorbicycle, as once momentum has decreased to a null value, it is nice if tootsies encounter Terra Firma before me lughole.

Hope this helps clarify my stance ( vertical usually preferred )

I'm confused, your legs are connected to your short arse but your feet are only near the ground? Surely it would be better to have the gap at the top so your feet reached terra firma and trade arse in for longer size to fill said gap?

Usually my feet are a sole thickness away from the ground

You could try insoles on your a sole, this would give required inner leg measurement to buy my bike and get two free airbox covers to fettle at your leisure. With your short rss do you find it easier to get into cabs after the pub, I understand taxis are lower on the I.O.M.

Ah...That's why taxis have a 'For Hire' sign?
