Seriously! This Clem might just be perfect. I have been a cyclist (of sorts) for more than 4 decades. This is the first bike I have owned that does not give me some sort of hand problems, mostly numbness. If I stand back and look at the bike it looks awkward with the high bars. People told me "it tides like a Cadillac". I am not to familiar with those vehicles but I liken it more to a Triumph TR3A, the classic British roadster. It has that long front end and can be as comfortable as an easy chair. But it also likes to be pushed hard and responds in kind. Right now there is not one single thing I do not like about this bike. Pics from today's 20 degree but sunny with little wind ride to follow.

Here is a pic of the TR 3 of Richard’s  analogy, was my favorite car as a teensger, though I never had one, Steve

I never did own one either, though I did have a Spitfire & a GT6+. What a fantastic pic you found!

DEC139B8-10BA-44B1-9FA9-F1193DE0EE77.jpegI’m compelled to chime in as I too happily ride a Clem and once owned a terrific Triumph TR250 roadster (in a color I now realize was similar to Clem’s riv blue). I would liken them by saying in both better to be home before dark (Lucas “prince of darkness” electronics and no light at all) also that neither responds well to hitting a tree - in the Triumph’s case especially an apple tree, in the fall, with the top down, and with sufficient force to send every apple on a fully laden tree raining down upon one’s head adding comic insult to injury.
