Re: Anyone too tall for their dsm?

Damn, I am. Whenever I have passenger and if they sit right behind me. I feel sorry for them cause my legs are so damn long that I need a lot of room. So I actually would have to pull the seat all the way, well, almost all the way back just to get in a comfortable position to drive. I'm 6 ft.

Re: Anyone too tall for their dsm?

It's just as bad in the stupid conquest. I'm 6'3" also, and I've never been comfy in my car. Luckily, I haven't had the option of driving it for a long time. I hate reclining back like a sweet thug - makes people look retarded IMO. Leg room is what gets me with the car though. I think the 2g beats me out in that though...terrible leg room. I always found my buddies 1g very roomy though.

**waits for khadgar to comment how the driver's area is like a cockpit**

I wish I was like 5'6" lol

Yah, I'm only 5 ft. I've been trying to find a bike. Pretty sure I can't fit on anything.

your best bet is to go with a 250cc right now.. They're already really low, buy the bike and that's it. Plus if it's your first bike you'll be all good! Like I said even with the lowering drag link I still need to wear 3 inch chunky heels.

Yah one bike I fit on famously was the Ninja 250. I wasn't to impressed when I heard their speed ratings though. Which is why I think I'll stick with cars for now. Just until I can afford to get something a little more interesting.

Re: Anyone too tall for their dsm?

I'm 6 foot. In my 2G with a sunroof i have about 1/2 " between my head and the head liner. With a helmet on it sucks, trying to auto x with a sideways view of the world. My 1G with a sun roof, and 2 's without sunroos seam to be better.

Re: Anyone too tall for their dsm?

I'm 6'2" and I don't have much of a problem ever, I don't drive like a thug, but I have long legs so my seat is all the way back, with the back rest at like a 70 degree angle. Helmets on the other hand suck, and my plans for a cage could ruin my comfortable driving abilities so it will be interesting.
