(and for all of the young whippersnappers on this Forum - as Carl might refer to them - the black thing in the video is called a "R E C O R D" and t is being played on a "P H O N O G R A P H", an instrument for reproducing sounds by means of the vibration of a stylus or needle following a spiral groove on a revolving disc or cylinder. from the Greek. phono- "sound" + -graphos "writing, writer."

Hey Man, EVERYBODY knows about the Bird! THe Bird is the Word. 
I remember that.
Al. That is a great photo.

I agree, nice looking bike. I sat on a mates T Bird on Monday and figured if the foot rests were a bit further back and the seat was a bit higher I'd seriously coinsider one. I've had a number of offers to ride one and always say no thanks because I'm not into foot forward bikes but I'm coming around, slowly.
next time you get an offer,take it up.
You never know,you might just like it.

I never was into the foot forward story either but after a day riding it seems all natural now, I would also say if you get a chance go for it as I would love to hear your take on the bike. It sure is a good looker
+1 I enjoyed my two test rides on the T-Bird. I may be tempted down the road. I think it would pull a hack very well.
I'm on the short side of average height, 5' 7.5" so 2.5" shorter than you. When I suggested a higher seat I was getting at a T Bird that's a bit more like a bigger Bonneville.
I will get around to testing one but for now I'm still in love with my Street Triple R. The down side of the Street Triple is they are rubbish to carry a pillion, my wife refuses to get on.
