I am 5' 10'

30" inseam

Drove a Harley Electraglide for 10 years..loved it..sold it ..missed it

Tripped on the Roadstar over the internet and bought it from a dealer without ever sitting on it or test driving it based on..its looks and tech details etc

Closest thing on the Market to my Dream Bike
Had Yamahas before ..knew the Quality would be there..

Sat on it..drove it and dressed it and this BIKE is the closest thing to MY Idea
of an Ultimate Cruiser/Touring...

Bought a seat that would lower me a little ..and I can sit flat flooted on the ground.. fits me like a glove... not OJ"S

I made the right decision even though it was a &quot;Pig in a Polk&quot;<br><br>Post edited by: Pop Rivet, at: 2007/03/03 10:11

Even I, in my extreme whiteness, found that really, really funny. A humor Karma for you!

6' 180#, needed to relocate the floor boards with the Corbin seat, but now 400 mile rides are like setting in a lazy-boy. Ok maybe a lazy-boy strapped to the roof of a Vistacruiser without mufflers but you get the idea.

As for the ying and yang of the Tuxedo Roadie, it just allows us to express the duality of man better. Not to mention when it comes to speed; if white claims to be fastest and black claims to be fastest the tuxedo roadie should be twice as fast as either.

It appears that the title of this thread could not be more appropriate. Myself, 6'4&quot; and about 250#, that varies according to which brand of beer I'm drinkin.
