For the short shi….. um er … persons.  Yeah. That’s it. 

Hello all.   It’s 5:30 am on a Good Friday morning.  I got woken up by a call from work so I ended up doing my usual –can’t go back to sleep yet…. so let’s read about motorcycle things.  

For those of you who don’t know it, I will be blunt.  I’m short.  I mean I’m short.  5′ 2″ to be exact with a 27″ inseam. That really affects what type of motorcycle I can ride depending on if I want to touch the ground. I have had taller bikes that I have been able to modify – namely a 2009 HD electaglide classic.  As well as ones I wasn’t able to modify – a Kawasaki 454ltd.   


The point I’m getting at?  Although there are bikes out there I absolutely salivate over – there is no hope that I am going to get one because of the seat height.  So when I read articles about the options for short ….people like me – I love to share.  

Without further adieu:

Rides for short people.
Hope the Easter Bunny gives you lots of chocolate.

Welcome to my blog. As a bit of a background ~ I am a senior aged woman who lives on Vancouver Island, Canada. But first and foremost, I am a motorcycle enthusiast. Here on the coast, even though we are Canadian, there is an opportunity to ride all year round (although some days during the winter are "iffy"). I used to ride a relatively 'small' cruiser as defined in today's market - a Canadian Anniversary Edition 2008 Vstar 650 Silverado which was a bike I truly fell in love with. Although it was a smaller bike, to be honest I'm a smaller woman. I stand 5' 2" in my stocking feet and only have a 27" inseam, which rules out quite a few of the bikes out there. In 2013 I had the opportunity to upgrade to a monster cruiser - a 2009 Harley Davidson Electra Glide Classic. From there it was a 2016 Harley Davidson Heritage Soft tail. Come 2023 I lucked in to a 2022 Heritage which a friend promptly told me needed to be named Yaahl (Haida for Raven). Anyways - as we travel along this road we call life I'll reveal a bit more about myself (at some points it might prove to be too much). Come along with me.
