Bob,I tried to respond to your post 5 times this morning but Capcha would not let me.I will try it without quoting you to see if it goes through. Yes Bob this was good info and learned a few things. Never realized that short C's had handling issues with a WB/L ratio of .54 of 54%. Mine is 52% and I drive it like my car with one hand even with trucks passing me. I notice most of the C's I looked at were as high as my A. I wonder if the height to length has more affect because of the higher CG. Do shorter C's feel tippy when cornering than say longer C's on the same chassis? The other thing I did not think about was the strength of the ABS plastic bins in the large storage bay. I store my two bikes in one of my pass tru's by removing the front wheel and seat post. I guess a closer look is required. I would forgo the slide to get the large storage bay, just not sure of the corner bed and getting up 3 times a night to go to the bathroom, but everything is a trade off.
