    My daughter wanted to buy a new bike and, being on the low side of
    short, she has a limited choice. In desperation she went to a dealer
    and looked at the latest version of the bike she used to have ten
    years ago, a Suzuki GS500. Guess what, they have got taller and she
    can't reach the ground. She eventually found a low milage (can you
    still say that?) 2004 or 5 model for a reasonable price and bought it.

    Since she grew up she has always claimed to be 5' but her dad knows
    she's not a millimetre above 5'11 1/2".

    she should have no trouble touching the ground if she's nearly six
    feet tall :)

    Theo only thinks she is almost 6' tall only because his arse is close to the
    ground
    and anything over 4'6" is big.

    Maybe in diameter because we all know that anyone over 4'6" in circumference
    cannot ride a postie bike.'

    If you were larger than 4'6" in circumference and you sat on a postie bike
    you would lose the postie bike
    never to be seen again

    yes, that was my point. having a circumference of 4'6" isn't half as
    bad as having a diameter of 4'6" ...... which would equate to just
    over 14.1371669' of a circumferencce .....

    Sorry, I haven't riden the bike for a few weeks and on some great pain
    killers ....... they seem to be wearing off though ,,,,,,,

    Not even the right sci fi! The answer is forty-two! (It was my
    birthday yesterday, I turned 'six by nine'. Don't feel any more
    grown up though!

    'Twas a quote Yeebok. Correcting it would've been misquoting.

    With this group, it would have to be a ride-by shooting
    although going by some of the posts by some of the "riders" here,
    with their bikes breaking down all the time,
    it would be a walk-by shooting
