The T is just perfect for my 6'5". No problem planting both feet flat.
When I'm rich and famous, I'm going to have a bike made that is proportionately correct for me. Then I may have a little more empathy for you little pissants...

I'm just a teeny 5'11 though SHW and I can get both feet on the ground no problem at all. Perhaps u just have a long body and short legs lol

evlin - the Chepstow - Usk road?? YEAH!! I ******' love that road, tight and twisty, just how I like it. Can't be arsed with sraight roads, too much temptation to wind it up to stupid speeds (even on a naked bike) and risk not only your licence but the state of your arse in the prison shower with Bubba. (not a problem for you I realise ).
Re seat hieght: I'm 5'11" with a 32" inside leg and the T is the tallest bike I've owned (I've had a fair few over nearly 30 years). It's fine on the flat, but on a camber I'm on tiptoe at times. Not an issue normally but on the rare occasion I take the missus out on the back my thigh muscles get a workout..

Pffft. All I have to say to mine is "Hi there", and she rolls over on her back... I guess I shouldn't *****.

Aka_gilo you on the pull mate. I realise I might have edited a little bit but sometimes you have to read between the lines to find the truth.

Oi!! Bay ya basser..........
No chance of me being on the pull. My missus has always made it crystal clear that if she found out I'd been playing away she'd attack my two wheeled toys with a large lump hammer and a hacksaw.
See, some women threaten violence, a severe kick in the sack etc, but my missus knows how to really hurt a man.......

Who me? Never.
How old are you then Evlin if you're not 58? Just curious now. Had to ask the wife the other day how old I was as couldn't remember whether I was 37 or 38. I'm 38 on November 14th. Same date as Prince Chalres and the date they started BBC radio in 1922 apparently.
PS I think they are the roads I rode to Aylesbury to pick up my Tuoldo. Its a 53 model but no marks on it and the same suspension as yours which for the date it is was pretty smack on and is still good but not set it up for myself yet.
PPS I was a Superduke but couldn't get one with the bigger tank range I wanted. Hate to say it but I'd have had the SD over the Tuoldo if I could have gotten one but glad I have the T now having ridden it for the last 6plus months.

My wife told me Giles after coming back from a Hen weekend and going Clay Pigeon shooting and getting 100% hits that if I ever did anything she'd borrow a shotgun. Mind you if I'm honest I've just about enough time to spend with the wife without having any other complications going on in my life. Much rather spend my free time firstly with my little boy and wife and then the bike. Some days not in that order. Might buy him a little 50cc bike when he's a little older get him into it early.
