I wish I was 5'7"- more scooters come into play

[Stig / Major Tom]

I mean - I was once. When I was 12.
Although my wife would have married someone else. She's 5'7" and only dated taller men.

Not the first time I wished I was 8"shorter and 150lbs lighter!
I remember when I was 14 I was too tall for a mini-bike like the neighbor kids had. Those things with a rope-start B&S engine.

These pretty Hondas started me feeling that way again.....




My height never got me anywhere.....(well, other than marriage to this blonde born in the suburbs of San Fransico)
I was lousy at basketball and, as my brother used to say, "he's big....but he's slow. Runs out grounders like he's dragging a couch!"

um....5'6" and 150 lbs here, reporting for duty! (I would like a little more inseam length to fit on bikes a bit better).

 I sat on the new Honda Cub a few years ago and thought that the riding position seemed very cramped, even for me. I recall very little space in front of my knees to the plastic fairing/splashguards. Cool little bikes, though.

That's a pretty looking 125 Cub Stig.  As you say, way too small for us umper lumpers.

I have more gorilla dna than average, short inseam, tall torso, mounting my V-Strom requires technique, even throwing my leg over my K-Pipe I am stretching at extreme range of motion, my 5-11 height is deceiving
