Siickness!

A support site for short people who ride or want to ride a motorcycle. I have been looking for one and it is frustrating that most of the manufacturers largely ignore the 5'4 and under people.

Hmm... I wonder if there is enough need out there for a "Short Motorcycle" store.

Quoted: This FAQ came out of mine and others' experiences and frustration at being limited to a small selection of bikes. The support of other short riders on the "short" mailing list was invaluable, and in the early days we helped each other discover motorcycles we could ride and ways to handle them. In a few short years, we have broken serious ground in educating the motorcycling world about what short riders can do. Many of us have bikes we never thought we'd have, and that is extremely satisfying. Nothing makes me feel better than when someone posts to the short list and announces that they just bought their dream bike that they once thought was too tall for them!

By far the most important factors in short riders' success are their determination, perseverance and desire -- not inseam!

We are not small in spirit!

    Quoted: The arrangement bore the same relation to actual finance as fantasy football bears to the N.F.L. Eisman was perplexed in particular about why Wall Street firms would be coming to him and asking him to sell short. “What Lippman did, to his credit, was he came around several times to me and said, ‘Short this market,’ ” Eisman says. “In my entire life, I never saw a sell-side guy come in and say, ‘Short my market.’ ”
