I guess I win the prize at 6'3" and 390. Actually I'm just short for my weight.
The other day I was standing on a street corner wearing a blue and yellow shirt. Three people dropped off film! Then I went and got my shoes shined. I had to take the guys word for it!
I don't worry about how I look on the bike. It's like painting my house. I really don't have any favorite colors because I spend most of my time on the inside and don't have to look at it that often.
I like the R3 because it's a great bike with most of the amenities I was looking for when I went bike shopping. Low CG, big tank, comfortable to ride, lots of HP and Torque and most of all it was different from what everyone else was riding!
I farmed up until I was in college. I've bucked many a bail, mowed many a field, slung many a pile of silage and milked 40 head twice a day. Health reasons took my ability to be very active and so I resigned to more couch time than most but don't blame my laziness on not wanting to do more. I'd give anything to park in the back row of the lot and run all the way to the store and back....and the fact I can't doesn't have anything to do with how much I weigh. Luckily I can keep my health with good drugs from the VA and a doctor who monitors my results on a regular basis.
Would I like to lose weight? Of course. Will I be able to? Probably not as much as I want but it's an on going proposition to try and lose some. I look in the mirror and see someone who I like and that's all that counts.
One things for sure....... I can drive a tractor better than Flip can play the piano!

Flip, I pegged you for a squatter.
Phatdad, that was one of Phil Hartman's best skits on SNL.

PianoMan: You're such a pleasure to read from.
Had this elderly Italian friend of mine returning from his annual medical check-up , which he referred to as a traumatic ketchup (sic), and telling me: Once again, the **** doctor ("maledetto medico") says I am way too short for my weight ("troppo basso visto il peso mio", ha!ha! ha!) and that I should do someting about it ("fare qualcosa in merito") .
He bought himself a pair of hi-heel boots

Dave: Now days you don't drive them. They drive themselves with Autosteer GPS controlled steering. No, I can't play the piano but I'm a professional with da skinflute.....

That's why I bought a Rocket. The old saying goes ....'You can't run with the big dogs if you piss like a pup'............

Perfect Timing for this Thread
I went shopping for new jeans yesterday, somehow all of mine have shrunk hanging in the friggin closet again. Must be something in the air in that room. When you waist size surpasses your inseam, you are in trouble. Try to find a pair of 40 waist-34length pants. I finally located three pair in one store and bought all of them. I am 6'4" and run about 225 to 230. I have always tried to stay half way in shape and have had many ups and downs with the battle of the bulge through the years. Now I work a very physically demanding job, do 200 crunches, 100 push-ups, multiple leg lifts six mornings a week plus hit the garage weights hopefully twice during that same time frame. Guess what, the weight still creeps up every **** time I step on the scales. I try to eat right but I also know as you age your metabolism slows down no matter what you do. Another contributing factor could be my beer theory. I firmly believe it was created by the Gods and sent down to Earth for us mere motals to enjoy. My long range plans are simple, at 70 I am going to turn into a complete Slug. I am going to sit on my ass, eat and drink any **** thing I want and hope for a ground floor room in the Old Age Home, they get their pudding first. Finally look at this way guys, I don't think any of us will ever get to big for a Rocket.
