Post by: stidds on December 05, 2005, 12:30 AM: I rode Nicky Dalton's Maruishi bitd as he was in my region (although a year younger than me) and we would meet up with him at meetings. That was one big dude.

Post by: stidds on December 05, 2005, 09:59 PM: It wasn't too bad as I recall. I was riding a JMC at the time so would have been a big difference. Also Nicky at that age was close to 6 feet, I was probably 5'2", so the bike felt massive.
