Honda XR

[JodieWodie]

I received this bike yesterday as a replacement for my own bike, (whilst being fixed).

I took one look at it, and thought no way. I have always hated the whole style of the 'off road' look.
Plus it was black.
It was so very high compared to my bike..
My feet touched the floor, ..just...

Well, as I road off I thought it was wonderful !!
So springy...so comfy in my view.... so high !!
I was on a level with big cars....people could see me.
My CG is going to be so low and rock solid when I get her back.
My daughter also liked being so high up.

I am definetely going to sell the CG upon return...I have the taste for a different bike now. Maybe a 500....
something a lot taller than my CG that's for sure.
I am also leaning towards black rather than blue....

You will feel much elss vulnerable on a bigger bike, those CG's and that are sooo like sometimes it is a bit un nerving going around corners, feel much more planted on a larger bike.
