The bike is reassembled! Being a tiny human has its advantages, but sometimes you realise that things built to suit the average are just too big. Like the Suzuki Boulevard M50. Lovely styling with the sporty cruiser look, but unfortunately the low, sleek handlebars are just a wee bit too far forward for this midget- leading to an aching back and sore shoulders after only a few minutes of riding.

This is solved by pulling the bike to bits and installing different handlebars. Yup- I deliberately pulled apart a practically new bike and modified it. Hah!

We'll see how it goes on the ride to Canadia today.

My handlebars are still wonky from the last time I dropped it, and I've got a new set that needs fitting. How long are you boys in town for? ;-)
