honest opinions: lowering a CB1100

[the Ferret]

LOL, there are a ton of motorcycles I can't mount standing on the ground and swinging a leg over. I'm a short, stubby legged 69 year old with bad knees and I mount a lot of motorcycles by standing on the near peg. Either that or I approach from the low side and do the karate front kick, and hop through over the front portion of the seat. I prefer the standing on the near peg method as there is no chance I'll Bruce Lee my bike over on it's ride side by not kicking high enough with the latter method.
