The seat is at his elbow height and the bars are about nipple level.

Fair lay to him/her. Looks like a well practiced manoeuvre.
Totally cool. Not sure I'd have the courage to rely on that in traffic.

He'd have a job touching ground on those bikes....
There's footage of him getting on the bikes by getting the bike moving while stood beside it then slinging his leg over like mounting a horse

I love the way they still instinctively hang their foot off the peg when riding off, even though they'll never be able to reach the ground with it

That’s the sporty “Golden Arrow” model!
Why don’t the experts in their “professional team” spell Ariel the same way as the badge (one of the few surviving parts)?

LOL. They've chained him to it!
That one will suit Yorick - he's a fan of full fairings.

Hard to believe that's anywhere near legal given the rules on modification (it's a crime in other ways too

).

That's what I thought. Bikes must be 100% original.

It doesn't appear to have any steering....given the ground clearance, that's probably wise.
