An odd question.
Do you think height plays a role in motorcycle respect? (primarily when moving/riding)
Popped into my head today while watching a youtube video this morning, of a 6ft+ guy man handling his 600, which resulted in a crash. I started to think about it a little. I know being taller & larger on a psychology front gives people confidence, so I'm curious how people see it play in with Motorcycles.
My thoughts as a 5'3" rider are... That I respect bikes right off the bat because I know they are larger than me. I can in no way manhandle a supersport, but have seen larger people treat them like toys. So it got me thinking that outside of our mental & maturity states, that our own height, and muscle masses might give some an over confidence illusion. I guess it would also lead to some other questions but this is a good starter.
