Bwahaha! It's up so far that even I have to scootch it back to actually get in and out of the car. Hope that seat motor lasts a good long time.


The following is a temp threadjack to answer kszoz, please ignore if you aren't interested in bikes.


My first bike was an '05 Ninja 250. I shaved the seat on the Ninja to get a few more millimeters.

Now I have two Ducatis - '97 M750 and a '09 696. Very limited adjustments can be made to the stock suspension to get a pinch lower.

I don't believe in lowering bikes artificially - ie dogbones and such, as it throws off the original symmetry of the bike - not a good idea IMO. Shaving seats and lower profile tires (within spec) are a better way to go without negatively affecting handling.

Basically one gets used to being on pointe (so a tad beyond tiptoes) or having one foot down (still on tiptoes). I have to be constantly vigilant about where I stop as far as road surface and I have to actually get off the bikes to park them - not enough foot on the road to duckwalk them. But you would be surprised on how quickly you can get used to it. There are scenarios I try to avoid for obvious instability reasons - stopping on steep hills and getting caught in true inching along traffic jams. I know a few guys shorter then me who just one foot it. We shorties also get real good, real quick at balancing at stops too - anything not to have to get an uncertain foot down.

 

So here is where I am... I test drove a Crossfire... Just so happened it was an SRT... Holy Cats!!! But, that SRT was a little rough, and was a bit more miles than I was looking for, so the hunt was on... I found an SRT the other day wth barely 6,000 miles on it, and I just drove it home... Looks/runs like a brand new car. AND, my wife can drive it, and thinks its a very cool car!

 

Congratulations on the new ride. What color is it?

 

This color!

 

Oh nothing but the best colour then!! Congrats on the new ride. I must get to one of those SRT's soon to see what all the fuss is about!

enjoy the ride!
