New Bohemia, VA | this thread makes me wonder if some should even be near a motorcycle, much less a 4 wheel or above vehicle. |

Well I am 6' 10" and 32 inch inseam but with almost 62 years under my belt and all the agility of a bump on a log I found out that putting a Corbin with Drivers backrest I had to do a lot of adjustments to getting on and off. I stand beside the bike and grab my boot or pant leg and go straight over the saddle then sit down. Off is just the reverse standup lift right leg grab pant leg or boot and pull it over it may not be a graceful as some but it hurts less and with my back and legs I just want on so I can ride. Archie
That's me too but since I put the drivers backrest on, it's a careful trip over the tank/dash with a good grip on my pant leg. Getting off the bike is not as easy for me though. With two bad knees, it's more of a hop...hop...drag as I drag my right boot across the top of the saddle (usually pulling my gel pad from its assigned position). Not at all graceful but like someone else said... I bought it to ride, not compete in a beauty contest.

Peru, IN | My Utopia backrest sort of folds down some (each of 2 hinges moves opposite each other...kinda forms a Z). That gets it out of the way enough for my fat legs to clear it (more or less). It doesn't get out of the way as much as some I've seen on GWs, but I'd never get on the bike if it didn't pivot. I'm guessing the Vic backrest doesn't pivot? |
