Hi from Colorado!

I just finished the rite of passage known as "reading the Monster Thread". It took me a couple of months and was quite the epic read!

So naturally, with a screen name like Artoo (R2), I'm probably hooked.

30" inseam and kinda' weak (excuses, etc ), so I'll probably have to either find a WRR that's lowered or lower one. I was first considering a WRX for the lower stature and try using knobbies on both ends. I've read quite a few good postings on that, but found the tire selection too limited - IMHO only, of course.

It would be sooo nice to have a bike I could pick up when I drop it! Well, the other various benefits would be nice, too!

I may start actively looking to get a WRR next month or maybe in the off season. No sense rushing it. But that could get accelerated if "The Tank" crushes me into the ground again any time soon! I have a couple of other "vehicle situations" to deal with first, too.

Well, many thanks to all for this website and also thanks to those heroes here who contributed so selflessly to "The Monster Thread"!

I've saved a huge folder of links and articles from both!

Have fun and ride safe!

Artoo !!

Welcome to the pack! It's an insanely fun little bike, and you can do a lot of things with it. I had to really lower mine tho...37 inch seat was pretty trippy to try to stop at lights when you can't touch the ground.

Hi, SheWolf! And thanks very much for the welcome!

Yeah, I figure I've got my work cut out for me to get it low enough. I've saved links to several thread posts by YOU to get some ideas of how to lower it and how far down it can go. Likewise, I carefully watched Bonnie Abbzug & Hayduke and their suspension mods for similar reasons.

I might take it to the same suspension shop where Bonnie and Duke went since it's not terribly far away.

Back problems make it so I really don't want to be sliding off the seat all twisted outta' shape at stops...

FWIW, I've really learned some things from you all... but I also found some great humor in your posts. Thanks for bein' a big part of it!

If I can help out a fellow rider, it's all good.

Welcome, Hi!

*I guess you bought one!

Inspector, thanks for the welcome! Yep, I certainly bought one!

As soon as the title passes muster, it's time to put some mods into it!
