Introduction

[capitolsrc]

I'm a 71 year old. For 20 years I rode a Honda ST1300, which I LOVED, but an annoying left hip had me looking for a new ride that didn't weigh the 800 lbs of the ST. I'm short-legged and most sport/touring or adventure bikes have seat heights from 31-33 inches, which leaves me like a ballerina en pointe. The Tiger 900 GT LRH was the only from-the-factory bike in this class that fit me, and it weighs less than 500 pounds. Perfect for me. Within a week after buying it, I crashed my 150cc TaoTao, broke my collarbone and five ribs, and am just now beginning to play with my new big ride.

Glad you're finally getting to ride the new bike.

Welcome to the forum,
The only answer I have is molding option is always there for bikers

I wouldn’t feel comfortable on a motorcycle I couldn’t flat foot. Some boots have thicker soles, that helps.
