    I've a Daytona 955i though haven't put many miles on it in 13 years.

    This year I'm trying to fettle it to suite my small statue. If I fail, I will be looking for another triple with a lower seat height.

    How do I measure a short arse? North-South, East-West, or diagonally? :no_mouth:
    (I have to find out about mine, you know...)
    All I know is: my arse goes quite well with my bicycle-spoke arms! :mask:
    I think my parents ordered the upgrade-kit: 'Featherweight Café Racer'. It also comes with long and extra fast legs and an aerodynamically optimized and sleek thinking-centre.
    :p

    Thanks all :)

    The bike was an impulse bid on eBay. It was late Friday night, beers were involved and the auction was ending Saturday morning.

    It put a bid on and thought I'd probably be outbid. I liked the look of the bike and the triple motor, but hadn't done any research on it.

    I've never felt comfortable on the 955i like I have on my other bikes. Always felt I was perched on top and struggled to get it corner quickly. Great in a straight line and loved the motor.

    Fast forward 13 years, my circumstances have changed, and I now have the time to see if I can fettle it to my liking!

    EXCELLENT!
    Thank you so much. I knew, I could rely on you guys when it comes to profound knowledge...

    But I will use my ballpoint-pen instead of the pencil; They call it the 'Spacewalker'!

    It is much thicker.. eh.. accurate! :scream:

    Well.

    Now, that is strange. The writing on the wall does not show a number like 74 etc.
    It looks more like letters.
    But there must be a spelling mistake.
    It says: Hard Ass
    Isn't the word 'hard on' ???

    :yum

    (I must try again in German!)

    I thought our crayons were for marking, drawing on and colouring in on the wall.:confused: Then, if Nursey likes what has been done, we get extra, or possibly industrial strength meds.:yum

    Or have I been misled?o_O:worried:
