Thanks for your encouragement!
Hey guys,
Thanks for your very positive feedback.
I've managed to find an Enfield dealer locally who's got a 500cc classic I can go and sit on (they no longer import the 350s into Oz), so hopefully that will give me some reassurance (though PaulD, you mentioned the 500 is lower than the 350: I would have thought it would be the other way round??).
Have noted, too, people's tips for riding when your feet only just touch the ground or not at all. It's largely about being able to control the weight of the bike, but it sounds like the Enfield has a low centre of gravity so that might not be so much of a problem after all.
Main thing is, confidence. I still feel like a relatively new rider (only got my licence in 2010 and have been off the bike the last few months), so I need to get my mojo back and get confident again with jumping on and off bikes!
Jeanie
PS: No-one mentioned the built-up boots to add height...dumb idea, eh??!
