Hi Ron, yes it's OK thanks, just have to stand up occasionally, I guess if you make whatever seat you have more comfy it would be fine, like put a gel pad in it etc.
@@trevsstuff64 the Beta xt 300 just sold had a better seat put on it from previous owner, l was intending to retire but went down in the dumps so bought myself another bike, well it is nearly my birthday(not sure what the seat is going to be like as l have to get it lowered before l attempt to ride it !
@@ronpranglen5287 Ahh yes, the older one gets, it's better you can flat foot your bike. I was riding my friend Neil's WR250R it is too tall for me, and has caused me to drop it, and nearly a few other times because of that. I have a 29in leg, so the WR at 930mm (36.5in) is too high. If it was mine etc i would put lowering links on it, a very wise move 👍
@@ronpranglen5287 Blimey that is tall, I can sit on a crf250l which is 880 ok, but then the rear shock is also soft. maybe you can get the seat cut down as well, perfect opportunity to then add a gel pad to the seat, depends how thin the seat already is of course.
Nice dry run looked like l could have managed ok in my dotage, A reasonable video Trev ,how's your rear end ?
