Barry spit ( just a little ) and said it's raining

Needless to say, he refrained from asking anymore stupid questions

Your bike must look tiny when you are riding it.

I'm 6'6" with bad knees, and riding supersports is becoming a painful ordeal these days. I'm thinking I need something more real-world oriented like a ZRX1200 or FZ1. You have any recommendations?

Not really. I feel pretty comfortable on my VFR but it still has that bent-knee peg position. I usually have problems on cruisers and standards because my knees are too high on the gas tank and dont fit into the concave areas theire supposed to. I havent tried the ZRX or the Fazer.

I have a friend who is 6’5” and rides an 1150GS. For him it is the only bike he has found that is comfortable for long distances.

After trading a few emails with my insurance company today, I want a thread about stupid ANSWERS.

I never ask really tall people how tall they are. I just casually walk over and stand next to them to see if I come up past their waist. I'm only 5'1"

That's when you say, "God obviously designed you to give me a blowjob".
