Saxophones Carrying a tenor on a (motor)bike?

both feet

Never been able to do so. I must be really short.
Balancing on one foot was the first task.

Do Italian legs come in 'long'?

Not if the driving position in Italian cars is anything to go by. I love them, but getting the seat far enough back is difficult - and if I can, I can't reach the steering wheel, even though I'm tall.

Trivia:
In the post 1922 Italian propaganda, cine directors were instructed to picture women from a lower angle, to give the impression of longer legs. Habit still in place.
Seeing model pictured from above in tabloids (where legs seem shorter) seems weird.

It is time to tell you that your arms are too short (no tightness jokes intended).

Italians, men and women, have quite enough advantages in the attractiveness department without also having long legs - that really would stack the decks unfairly against the rest of us 😉

It's a strange fact that for the same height a woman will have longer legs than a man. I have a 31" inside leg and am 6'1". My eldest daughter at 5'11" had no bother with tall trailies, that challenged me.

I can see this thread drifting towards the family-unfriendly...

It's because of the wider pelvis, if the legs were in the same ratio to height a woman would have an awkward gait.

Or a weird front door!

Ha, that's what I thought too. But then I decided that we just need to brush off the icon, now that @ProfJames is back 😉

My intrinsec innocence does not allow me to understand.

I'm not falling for that one.

gait.

front door!

We should consider warning points...

 

[Targa]

My use of the word gait was entirely innocent, however in the spirit of the above posts:
I went round to the neighbours and the lady opened the front door in her nightie, which is a strange place to have a front door.

 

[Jay]

Oh no, more

 

[ProfJames]

What a great thread!!!

 

[Targa]

I used to get that response from ladies a lot when I was younger.
(Especially the laugh, unfortunately).

Yay, I am a fledgling biker - I have my CBT 😀 and my lovely, patient instructor probably has a few more grey hairs than he did yesterday 😉
