I love to ride motorbikes

I have just one little problem.. :oops:

I'm too small!!! :cry:

I cannot find a motorbike that i'm able to ride! There's always a few centimeters missing! Ah don't tell me to ride a chopper! My arms are too short to stay in touch with the handlebars in a curve ( i did my drivers license with a chopper) :cry:

How tall are you, Sunshine? I know many small girls with motorbikes in their garages... none of them use choppers.
I have a good friend that is able to lower every kind of motorbike: maybe we can give you some good suggestion!
BTW: today nobody calls such kind of bikes "choppers", this was a term used in the seventies... better if you call them "customs" or "cruisers"!

Thanks for the advice

so i'll add cruisers to my vocabulary.

I am 158 cm small. Once i drove a Honda CB500...the smallest that you can get in Germany....i loved that motorbike so much :cry:

but my teacher said it will never work and gave me this cruiser to do my drivers license :cry:

now i hate them! The problem that i have is the mountains and hills. When i have to stop at a traffic light on a hill it costs me so much energy to hold the machine!! It's incredible.

I have a friend that is 1,58... a few months ago, she came with me to the KTM Enduro School, where she has been able to ride a KTM EXC 125! Simply, when stopping, she had to slide her body to one side of the bike, so she was able to put one foot on the ground... the other foot remained flying in the air for a while... :mrgreen:

Well, this is an extreme situation (the KTM seat is 95 cm from the ground!) but the "sliding body" method works very well for lower bikes, too. Furthermore, lowering a bike some centimeters is an easy work as well! I hope you will be able to find your bike soon...

PS: I have always loved girls driving bikes (my wife also has her own bike, of course!). Let me know!

Mmmhhh... a small 50cc is about 60kg, while a four-cylinders 1200cc can be more than 300. Between the two there are infinite combinations...

What about motorbikes?
