No worries! I'm a bit biased, my RM1 is that green....

It's a little different, the reach to the bars is reduced from the RM1 / RM1S by moving the seat and pegs forward. Our Head of Product and Lead Test Engineers are a similar height to you at 6'3", so you should be OK. 😀 But yes, always worth a test ride.

It does look like it, probably a Haas seat in a couple of years time.

And yes, well spotted, it is a NI plate. A little bit of home that I have just kept. 😀

Basically the same, just went down US manufacturers, and then random guesses at models....

Peter Taylor @peter8171.bsky.social · 4d

Also only managed to get the year after most attempts. Not the foggiest.

I suppose I could have done that! 🤣

Had the same for Twent25ive, took a couple of goes to get how to pick the letters, once I had looked at the theme as well! Found a couple of other words in it instead... Failed on the other one, but I found it interesting to try and would play it again.

Until the tail lights appeared, I had no clue... Then took 2 attempts at the year.

Rain has stopped, so managed to get the Yaris washed. Looking glossy again!
