Good advice. After having my Aprilia sink into my mates tarmac drive, I never go anywhere without a puck... the twenty-first century replacement for a squashed coke can.richardbd wrote:
In the summer it might dig into the soft tarmac though - same for gravel in car park...
With my top case on (new model not as simple to remove), I have trouble lifting leg over seat to mount. My knees are bad, and it's a stuggle. However, I just bend the knee up as much as I can and grab the pant hem with my right hand and help it over. Works ok. Getting off is easier. I can do the reverse while hopping back a little on my left leg. These bikes are made for short guys with bad joints.turdboman wrote: Any techniques for mounting with a top case , i can't lift leg high enough to just put it over seat !
That's what i finally figured out ,grab my cuff and lift it over seat !!mercator1 wrote: With my top case on (new model not as simple to remove),I have trouble lifting leg over seat to mount.
