Curiosity

Well, I have not updated in a long time, sorry for those of you who actually check periodically! I will need to keep it short, because I have some stuff I need to get done before heading over to Alyssa's. We are all going to go swimming today, we as in, Alyssa & Abe and me & Oliver, it should be fun :0)

So here is where I am curious, feel free to let me know your thoughts :0)
Yesterday as I was driving home, I was at the 4-way stop just before our house I let a guy on a motorcycle get in front of me (he was was pulling out of the Circle K). As I was looking at him I noticed that when his motorcycle was stopped he used his feet to balance him so he didn't topple over. Now here is part I am curious about...How do short people or people with really short legs ride motorcycles, b/c well there legs wouldn't reach the ground to help balance them! I see women drive them & obviously they don't topple over...Do they make them different heights? Because you can't have them too low, that would be dangerous...

I know it is silly but hey, its a post & it is something I have been thinking about....Stay tuned for more insightful posts to come when I get around to it :0)

  1. Very interesting thought! I guess they do make them different heights. I don't know how else they could do it? (Yes, I read this right after you left!!)
