No, don't do that. They use to refer to me as LMG (Note the army connection!) "Lang Maer Gat". The ride is the destination.

I would call Abel the '''BFG''', after Roald Dahl's book by the same name: '''The Big Friendly Giant'''. He is no longer so 'maer'... Website Administrator [http://honeybadger.net Honey Badger IT Services]

Abel don't worry ;-) NOBODY will be taller than you mate :-) You are the only guy that makes a GSA look like a small 250cc :-)

Abel do you think some people here have an issue with height or is there a restriction with height if one joins the club?

Mike I don't look at myself. As a consequence, I don't see how tall I am. Unfortunately, BMW don’t want to build a GS Adv that is big enough for me. But I know something that they don’t know – I fit into small places and onto small bikes! There is after all a huge difference between big and tall – I’m tall, not big. The ride is the destination.

People with straight hair envy those whose hair is curly, us short ous envy those who are tall. Now, people with curly hair envy those whose hair is straight, but if any tall ous envy short ones, it's only because they have no idea! ;-) Website Administrator [http://honeybadger.net Honey Badger IT Services]
