Arthritis in Wrist

Hi guys
Have sore wrists due to the TL. (NO. Not old. Still have a brain like a 22 yr old)
So went looking for a Bandit or something to ease the pain.
After looking for 2 days found a bike that makes it easier on the wrists when adjusting suspension.
No more screwdriver or spanner needed. But still heavy on the old hands when riding.
My excuse is that less spanner work for same riding position must be better ?
Talking to Jimmy the boy about the new bike and he thinks that Ewok,Dekani,Hammy,Gus n Tag might find it funny...
So here tis

Bugger. Photo bucket is down

Lol. Ducati. Making mechanics out of motorcyclists since 1946. Very Happy

Very nice - doesn't look as cramped as a Fireblade (although my lowered, multi-position Blackbird pegs have been fitted and feel very comfy (40mm lower) - just haven't tested them yet due to crap weather.

Out of interest, if you've got a minute, grab a tape and measure from the pegs to the bum height of the seat (roughly will do).

cheers

Keep buying bikes @ewok1958 Then I'll talk to you about renting one next time we come over for the super bikes Smile

I'm running out of shed space mate. But anything over 30 years old is getting a look at the moment given the fun of playing with a project bike and the cheap cost of rego/insurance for 30+ year old bikes. Trouble is, other people seem to have the same idea as they disappear pretty quick if they're half reasonable - there was a good FZR1000 in Sydney but it's gone too.
