Too big to get my license?

[tallone1]

Hey all. I'm having quite a difficult time finding a school that has a bike big enough for me. I'm 7 feet tall and around 540 lbs, in the Manchester area. I've tried at several schools, but they all said they didn't have a motorbike for me. Do you have any ideas on what should I do?

To give this thread a bit of context, from looking on Google I've found a video of someone who weighs 540lb.

It's work safe apart from the fact it's from X Factor USA.

In conclusion, do what Roger and arry say as there's not a hope in hell of a 125 being suitable.

With a BMI like that, I fear that your heart is under enough strain as it is. The excitement of a motorcycle could well push it over the edge.

None of you would look the OP square in the navel and say any of this straight to his moobs.

isn't 540lbs closer to 240kg

even some of the largest rugby players are only around 300-350lbs

244.94kg to be exact.

But since he says "around 540 lbs", I presume it's actually more than that.

I'm guessing/renting/buying protective gear will be somewhat of a problem too, i guess most places who offer training won't have gear readily available to rent while you undertake the training
