Until recently, sneakers sold for women were just smaller men's shoes. It's like that in many areas, like bikes, until recently.

But why would someone sell a product to someone that's clearly unsafe?

Today, I saw a woman on a motorcycle. Little lady and tiny hands. I was watching her and noticed that when she grabbed the clutch (left hand for non-motorcyclists), she had to essentially take her hand off the handle... rolling up onto it with the base of her palm on the grip.

I didn't get to see her brake hand, but if the setup's the same, she's totally screwed if she has to brake fast.

Why didn't the shop that sold her the bike take a minute to put spacers in the clutch and brake handles to push the levers closer to the grip and then adjust the cables?

Same reason tampons aren't made small enough to shove in your penis.

Because most shops dont give a damn......they figure they already have their money....although I feel bad for her and hopefully one of her riding buddies helps her out!

 

[captainpolution]

she stole it?

 

[-dustin]

shouldn't the title of this be "the shop that sold this lady a motorcycle kind of sucks"?

hell, it's probably her husband's bike, anyway. i'm surprised he let her out of the kitchen.

Or how you can never find a bra that fits just right? I hate that too.

Did you point that fact out to her?

The kitchen, however....

Tell her to make you a sammich, or is that blue's job?

 

[LordOpie]

No. We were moving in traffic, then I stopped caring.

Was she hot? If no, why does it matter? One less ugly to poke in a drunked mishap.
