I have very long legs for my height and a very short body! This is 1978 with my eldest who's now 45.
I remember going to buy a new Transalp in Shrewsbury Honda Centre and the sales guy (who was taller than me) sat on the bike and he was on tip toes.
He then said that I'd better check out the seat height to see if I found it OK.
I sat on it and I flatfooted with both legs bent......he looked at me completely bewildered!
