Shaved the **** out of the seat on the VFR800. I'm basically sitting on plastic. Dropped the back end without having to buy a lowering kit (turned the triangle bracket after LOTS of research), and lowered the front to match ratio. And yes, I slide my little left bun off to get a good touchdown.
People build and ride bikes they've banged together from misc. parts, so don't let size get in the way of making something work, especially if it's in reach. There are people out there that can help make it happen

Eventually manufacturers will realize they are missing out on the market with shorter riders, and will design and engineer smarter. Next time you see a pocket sports bike, be reminded that any size is possible, lol.

In regards to that cbr vid, nothing to do with being short, she put feet down too early, stop first then put foot down....

Yes, testers seem very happy to point out what they believe you did wrong and I call a lot of it bogus Bull Sh@t!
Wife got nailed for not leaving her right foot on the peg holding the rear brake. When she explained that she had to change feet so she was able to engage 1[SUP]st[/SUP] gear the tester replied she should have been in 1[SUP]st[/SUP] prior to coming to a complete stop. She asked if he had seen the panic stop she was forced to make when that car pulled out right in front of her. The response was that she should have anticipated the move and started down shifting earlier. She reminded the tester that there was a tractor trailer blocking her vision of the side street. The tester then claimed she was traveling too fast to which her retort was, “But, you just told me I was travelling to slowly and have to learn to accelerate up to speed faster.
I swear some of those instructors / testers are on a god trip.
And who says it’s sloppy or bad practice. Try keeping a bike upright with only your left toe touching when your passenger mounts the bike like getting on a horse. First they damn near pull you over one way as they grab on and start to mount. Then when they fling their leg over the bike the momentum forces try to make you go over the other way.
Obviously some people here have never found themselves on the ground thinking, “Damn! If only I could have got that other foot down.”
It’s not about being able to flat foot booth feet all the time but rather being able to get enough of one foot or the other down at that critical point to save the bike and yourself from going over.
what the eff kind of advice is this? No one should lower their bike? WTF??? Get a cruiser instead?? I don't even know where to start with that statement.
Well there must be some reason insurance hates lowered bikes...
I think the problem is when you say your bike is lowered, your insurance company thinks this:

Insurance hates everything. Probably deny your claim if you have 91 gas instead of 87.
