Vertically Challenged on the FJR?

[Abercrombie FJR]

There are ways around it. I shut off the sound because I don't think the guy taking on the video is very kind. I thought the guy on the bike was inspiring and has great courage.

PS.

This video is posted in jokes and fun stuff but it is not intended to be a joke. I found it fun and inspiring to watch. I should have found another spot to post it.

Where there's a will there's a way. Good on him!

For all those who say you need to flat foot your bike...nope. Ride what you want, adapt and overcome.

That is cool. Good on him! Hopefully the driver will live to one day realize his own shortcomings whatever they may be. No pun intended. For some reason, Ron White's saying you just can't fix stupid came to mind when listening to that driver.

When I was in North Carolina I dropped my FJR. I was getting a front tire later that week and the mechanic was about

4'9".

He told me in a thick southern draw. "You better get your *** off the seat and your feet on the ground with this

bike."

The worst part about the driver is that he was encouraging the kids to become inconsiderate A-holes, just like him.

I admire that rider... if that had been me, I'd have fallen over.

I was thinking the same thing.

Nice! I bet that rider has developed a very good balance skill too, and would be good at "slowest rider" skill demos.

 

[stevec677]

That's awesome!!!!

 

[14ES]

There's ALWAYS a plus to any situation. I bet that bike RIPS with him on it!

Who knows...maybe he's a test rider for a cycle magazine. "So THAT'S how they get such low 1/4 mile times!"

Agreed...not right teaching kids to make fun of people like that...

It appears to be someone with dwarfism. It also appears to be someone who doesn't let his lack of height, stop him from doing what he wants. What's not shown, is the time he spent learning to ride that bike. This is obviously a man of perseverance, kudos to him!

I've seen a short guy ride a tall dirt bike and when he came to a stop, he pulled in the clutch and diploid the side stand and just let the bike lean over, and to start he let the clutch out and kicked the side stand up. I do think he must have disabled the side stand switch. The guy wasn't much taller than

that guy in the video, and no way could he have reached the ground.

 

[Tiger_993]

Good for him. I muted the audio after the first wise crack.

 

[wheatonFJR]

Kudos to a man with ambitions. The real little man was talking.

 

[fjrob1300]

oh, whats that popular saying?...... oh yes..... let thou without sin cast the first stone. Hypocrites.

 

[900gc]

Yes, good for him! I know a guy who has (I believe MS) and can't walk without crutches but still loves to ride. He rides an R1 and had hydraulically activated out riggers (training wheels!) put on it. Push button on the handlebar to activate. Gotta' ride!

 

[danh600]

I think anyone who actually rides will give that man due respect.

 

[LittleJon]

I just don't get how he can get on and off without tripping over his balls. His are obviously considerably bigger than mine.
