Don't knock it till you've tried somewhere else - in spite of all the problems this is still one of the better places to live believe me.

Best place in the world........
England is the major part of the United Kingdom, and one of the most recognized (and visited) spots of land on the planet.
Shakespeare described his native land (England) by writing, “this royal throne of kings...this fortress built by nature...this blessed plot..."
At the pinnacle of its power, the English Empire ruled much of the world, and even today, the lasting impact of its bravery, culture, history and language have made this world a much better place.

Scrumpster, I'm 5'7" and 31" leg - the limit for the bike. Any shorter and it would have to be lowered, but I'm ok with it now I'm used to it.
Nice one Desmondo !!

Popped into a shop this morning and the pretty wench behind the counter didn't know what St George's day was about :o
Had to explain it's the English version of St Patricks day.
"Oh what, like for Scotland?" she says :lol: :lol:
I'd just like to say that the last post typed by me, wasnt from me, or even AK, if you understand:puzzled: I leave myself logged in at home & somebody here last nite decided to play on PC:o
C'mon - own up - who was it?:pig:

have a go on one first, I struggle on EVERY bike, but can touch down better on a big M/s than I can my 916 which is lowered, and I reckon the 620 m/s may be a bit smaller...note to self, must try one;)

The seat is narrower at the front, which gives a bit more reach to the ground.
