    After all, if you are kissing your arse good bye it's easier to do it
    bending forwards.

    but the blokes that I know that have DN01s, all seem very happy with them.
    they have to be, they would lose record amounts trying to sell them
    with the new price dropping like a brides nighty

    they are smaller that you think.. very good with people with duck
    disease

    they are a glorified scooter, all the disadvantages of a scooter
    combined with all the disadvantages of a motorcycle

    I only know of one and the rider couldn't handle a lowered GSR600
    http://www.suzukimotorcycles.com.au/bikes/road/sport-sport-touring/2009/gsr600.html
    but seem to handle the DN

    if it means you can stop being grumpy behind a keyboard and start
    riding again, then I would say they are a good thing

    not my cuppa tea thou

    Those blokes did buy at the bottom of the market, and for 10.5, rave
    about how good the beastie is.

    The poor buggers that bought at 17 or 18, OTOH, could be quite justified
    in being grumpy. I do hope they enjoy riding the thing.

    <shrug> Who knows, in five or ten years time they may have become
    collectors' items.

    I initially looked at the DN01 when I had an attack of gout in my left
    foot, and couldn't actually change gear (at least, upwards) on a normal
    motorbike without suffering agony, but the combination of the high
    (then) price and feet forward thing stopped me from even test riding it.

    It has a super low seat, and carries much of it's weight fairly low
    down, so it's quite easy to pick up off its side stand, which might
    appeal to some folk.

    regards,

  7. I'm not saying it is what would happen. Use your imagination!

    It's like a cartoon situation (OK, so maybe I've been making cartoons
    for too long) where someone would go ARGGGHHHHH and let go of the
    handlebars and kick their feet forward to stop the nasty hard thing
    from hurting them.

    You had to be there I guess ...

  8. Pity it looks like a hat full of arseholes that has been set on fire and put
    out with an icepick.

    It's been a while, but as I recall it, the bridal nightie goes up. Knickers,
    on the other hand...


    Cheers

    Maybe this one had a really big bum and that was the only option?

    I was *going* to write: the one I'm familiar with is 'up and down like a
    bride's nightie', then I started thinking about something else I was
    supposed to be doing as well and posted complete rubbish instead :(
