Default Serious question about midgets

Can they ride motorcycles? Is there stuff to help them? Conversion kits? Their feet won't touch and their arms are too short, their hands probably won't wrap around the bars.

Serious questions that need serious answering.

I think I've only seen one on a 4-wheeler. I don't think they can even ride a moped. Probably just pit bikes. Heck, my CL70 is probably too tall.

Despite the serious request, I have to be, well, not serious.

How else would you ride a motorcycle if you hadn't already figured this out for yourself??

Probably either a 3 wheeled bike or some kind of adaptation that's also used for amputees

I keep mine in the saddlebags.

Don't worry, I poked some air holes in them.

In retrospect, I probably should have taken them out before I did that.
