Thanks for trying RUSS, very much appreciate your help, however it really isn't for me.
I'd rather wrestle a big bike than feel uneasy on a tiny bike.

I'll spend Tuesday on it, go for a ride out but i'm sure my views won't change.

No worries mate, just passing on how I felt with it. I actually had my bike up for sale not long after getting it but now I'm glad that no-one bought it as I've got her just how I want her and she's great. Like I said, I wouldn't go back, but at the end of the day you're the one who has to be happy with what you've got so good luck with it either way :beer:

And would you let me test drive your Chelsea Tractor for 80 miles off road so i know if it all works???

I rode it around the estate to make sure the bits worked and it was fine, however the further into the ride i got the more unsure i became.

Well you've either got a lot of wedge to chuck around (fair play to ya) or you may need to think about what ya buy a little harder.

Russ has given ya some great feed back sit and listen to what he says. Wait for a decent dry day and get out and give large. It's a fookin awsome bike and I know cos I ride me brother-in-laws just to keep me hand in. Yes I find it a bit cramped but the grin factor is enormous. If your lass aint to botherd about being on the back, keep the feckin thing and try it properly.

Or have you bought a pup??????

No i haven't bought a 'pup' as you put it.
I simply cannot explain it any clearer than i have already!

I rode it and i liked it but once i had put in a few miles my neck was hurting and Emma won't join me by coming pillion.. Its OUR thing we do together and enjoy so i feel that there's no point in trying to live with it.

Its not a case of having wonga to chuck around, its a case of i'll wait to sell it and get my money back then choose a different steed.
Its hard to find a private vendor who will let you ride away on their bike for 2 hours while you test it.
I should have realised from the outset it was too small but then only being out on it will be the true test.

It is difficult to know without proper drive time.:dunno: I got caught out similarly with a car - seemed lovely, seating position seemed good, but all on a drive round the local area. Unfortunately I do a 40 mile round trip commute and it is soooooooooo uncomfortable for that, and long journeys are a nightmare!!! But now I'm stuck until I find someone who would really want an automatic cage!!!! :bang: Bring on the nice weather so I can go back to commuting by bird!!:neenaw:

I don't know... I'm busy for a few weeks, come back on here and what's happened?


Rhino "finally" makes his mind up...... but changes it again.


Sorry mate, hard way to discover it's not the machine for you.......

Get back to a 'bird saspo... you know it makes sense.....as long as it's black!!

Since having my Blade, I've ridden a XX and I've also ridden a CBR600F and after each ride I couldn't believe that I used to hoon about on bikes like that. The riding position felt bloody awful being sat so upright and they were so soft! How could I ride quickly whilst being sat on my favourite sofa? It's much easier with the Blade, it does everything the Bird did (except carry hard luggage, granted) plus more besides - I wouldn't go back p0pc0rn41

Snap. I can't believe I rode a Barge now and whenever I ride one or anything over 200kg I shudder at the thought of it. I could never go back to anything that large now and having worked on my riding with some great tuition from those who know, I no longer require loads of ponnies either.
Give it time John, get the suspenders sorted, but if you ain't happy with it I'm sure you won't lose out. Good luck mate.

Actually Allan, are you sure that isn't Lumpy? I mean Rhino has a bit of sense & would always wear a helmet, & the guy is wearing shorts as is Lumpy's wont.
