Short Girl Problems: The Silly and Dangerous Reality of Riding a Big Motorcycle

In a viral Imgur video titled "Short Girl Problems," viewers are treated to a mix of humor and concern as they watch a petite woman struggle with a motorcycle that seems far too large for her. The video ends with the rider exclaiming, "And, I'm out!" as she rides away, leaving a lasting impression on the audience.

From the reactions, it's clear that the video struck a chord with many. One viewer humorously noted, "I don't want to judge but I think that bike MAY be a bit too big for her... OR she needs some serious platform boots!" This sentiment was echoed by another who found the scene both "cute as hell but also dangerous as hell."

Safety concerns were a recurring theme. A concerned viewer advised, "Not a rider, but seriously, dress for the slide, please," emphasizing the importance of proper gear. Another comment highlighted the risk, stating, "It works for her until it doesn't. It's dangerous."

The challenges of being a short rider were evident, with one user commenting, "If she needs to this at every light, darn poor girl." Another viewer shared a creative solution, "Looks like short girl solutions to me," though the overall consensus was that the bike's size was problematic. "Should have bought a bike with a lower seat height," suggested one user, while another recommended, "Someone buy her a Grom."

Interestingly, the video reminded some viewers of a character from the series "Bakuon!!," who faces similar challenges due to her short stature. This character, despite her height, is a competitive motorcycle racer who uses creative solutions to manage her bike when stopping on the street.

The video also sparked a discussion about the broader issues of motorcycle accessibility for shorter riders. "If you're short it can be a struggle finding a stock motorcycle that are a good size. For short women like my wife and I. I recommend Hondas for cruisers," shared one viewer, highlighting the ongoing challenge for many.

Despite the mixed reactions, it was clear that the video resonated with many people who understood the struggles of being a shorter rider. The humorous yet poignant nature of "Short Girl Problems" serves as a reminder of the importance of safety, proper gear, and the need for more inclusive motorcycle designs.
