    now a silly question this may seem, but..... hot tall is everyone, not strictly rekated to bikes on the anatomical front (obviously) but, I'm a little stunted at 5'7" and Dutch (he'll hate me for saying this) is at a dizzying 5'8". I just wondered if there is a corellation between the relationship of type of bike with the size of Rider.

    So

    Zebedee 1984 5'7" Kawasaki Ninja ZX7R
    Dutch 5'8" Kawasaki Z750S

    We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.”

    I'm 5'8 in my stocking feet (only weekends)
    BMW RT1100 seat hight not a bloody clue, but its adjustable and I have it set on lowest setting, can get toes of both feet down, now this is where it gets complicated, my inside leg is 29'5 and me boots have a 1/2 to 3/4 inch sole, so you will have to do the math!!

    I'd wear a higher heel with the stockings...

    Interesting point for me is that my inside leg is 34" as well as my bikes!! I can't fit on a japanese sports bike if it has a fairing - my chin will crack the windscreen.
