| Interesting, but not certain how accurate it actually is. |

| Initially thought this was a trick question. Interesting!! We are all differing heights, agree. We all have differing inseams, again agree. Only two basic measurements. I have a longer body and short legs, others are proportioned evenly, some have long legs and short bodies. To get an accurate reading then all these ergonomic data has to be applied. However, as a general fun thing, it's ok. |

| There is no substitute for.......SITTING ON A BIKE!
I'm going through severe withdrawal. I have not ridden in 1 week and I won't be riding again for another 19-20 weeks. That SUCKS! I go into the garage with my winter jacket on, sit on my Swing, twist the throttle, and make vroom-vroom noises. I punch the starter button. Nothing. I press the horn button. Nothing. At least when I squeeze the brake levers I can hear the click of the brake light microswitches. This whole winter business SUCKS! |

| I agree with Dennis. There's no doubt 100mph is a lot more exciting on the SW than my GW. Not that the Silverwing is unstable or bad handling at that speed it's more like you're on a pretty small bike at that speed. The only bad part of high speed on the SW is that my helmet gets pulled straight upward. Not much buffeting but the chin strap sure gets snug. I've been thinking about putting a spoiler strip on top of my helmet to see if that will prevent that upward pull. |
