    Just look at the indents in our foreheads and chuckle then.

    Watch your head, kick your toes, watch your feet, bump your head. It's
    not all strawberries and cream being tall...

    There's a long way 'twixt here and there.

    Hmmm, how do I explain it to the wee people?...

    It's kind of like trying to reverse park a caravan using a couple of
    dentist mirrors...

    That's what the rubber mats under the bike are for.

    Garage was tiled when I purchased the house.

    Low ceiling fans scare the crap out of tall people.

    I can touch the ground on both sides, but can not flat foot it at the lights
    on both sides.

    Falling off the bike has never been as painful as falling on it.

    They're almost always at a (Doug-safe) fixed height but I'm always
    warned by shorter people with a different perspective because to them
    down there looking up, I look like I might be hit by one. (I've only
    been hit once when I got up on a chair to check the top of a wardrobe.
    Got a cool scar out of it though...)

    OK, bad analogy. Swap "caravan" for three dog road train...

    You don't need to if you don't plan on stopping...jumping off the side
    at traffic lights can get a bit tiresome in the inner city tho ;-)

    Must be scary to ride in when it's raining out. I installed a remote
    electric opener on my front gate this weekend to save getting off and on the
    bike twice (and the cars) to get through it.

    PS, it's OK Gerry, it's solar powered.

    Was that real? I thought that was just a NZ trolling attempt.
    (And wasn't the woman in that thread a novice? John's got more miles on the
    clock than Alexandre Barros!)

    Hey Clem drop on over and come for a ride, Presidents lunch at Weiss's in
    Toowoomba on Sunday, lots of food we have booked a private room, come over
    at 9:00am and we will take the long way and put some miles on the Adventure.

    The Ohlin's finally arrived today so I will have them fitted for Sunday.
