Are you a short rider dreaming of motorcycle adventures, but struggling with seat height, confidence, or bike modifications? You're not alone! In this episode of Sparks of Joy, I chat with author and communicator Christine Calvert, who recently got her motorcycle license. At just 158 cm (5'2"), she faced some of the same challenges I did - but made it work! We talk about: 🏍️ Why she took her license and the difficulties she met 🛠️ What modifications we did on her Honda Rebel 💬 How being short affects bike choice and confidence 💡 Tips for riders who don’t “fit the mold” ➕ Watch our previous video for the full breakdown of her bike mods! 👉 https://youtu.be/svarX-P7u5Y 👑 Subscribe for more real talk, practical tips, and joy-filled rides from a short rider who loves motorcycles. #motorcyclelife #shortrider #hondarebel #motovlog #sparksOfJoy #womenwhoride #motorcyclemodifications ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 It's not true! 00:15 Who is Christine? 00:39 How long have you been riding? 01:31 How did you start? 02:15 Was getting your license difficult? 03:43 Christines bikes 04:48 How tall are you and how has that effected your bike choice? 05:42 What would you say to a woman over 50 wanting to have her license? 06:54 Challenges with bike ergonomics and stock setup 08:49 What do you love most about riding? 10:39 Dream rides on a motorcycle 11:41 Christines tips for ALL riders no matter size 12:50 The truth 🏍 About Sparks of Joy Welcome to Sparks of Joy – a channel all about living the dream on two wheels, no matter your age or size! I got my motorcycle license at 51, fulfilling a dream I’d had since I was 20. It hasn’t always been easy – being short, curvy, and new to riding comes with its own set of challenges – but it's been so worth it. Here, I share tips for beginner riders, honest stories from the road, and the occasional “oops” moment – all with a dose of humor and heart. My goal? To inspire more women (and anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t quite fit the biker mold) to follow their joy and get riding. 🌟 Connect & Collaborate 🌟 Got an idea for a collab? Or just want to say hi? I’d love to hear from you. 📧 Email: hei@sparksofjoy.eu 📲 Follow on Social Media 📲 Instagram: www.instagram.com/sparks_of_joy_moto Facebook: www.facebook.com/SparksOfJoyMoto Blog: sparksofjoy.eu 💜 Subscribe for more two-wheeled joy: Click here to join the ride: www.youtube.com/channel/UCCEmM0IV3Dc2pApy8MVJS2Q?sub_confirmation=1 🏍 Current Love: • Triumph Tiger 900 GT Low (2023) 💔 Past Rides: • Yamaha Virago XV535 (1997) • Yamaha Virago XV1100 (1996) • Honda Rebel CMX500A2 (2021) 🎥 Channels I Recommend: • @ItchyBoots • @DoodleOnAMotorcycle • @OffSheGoesADV • @AstheMagpieFlies • @rbaldinger 🔖 Hashtags #TriumphTiger900 #motorcyclelife #womenwhoride #bikelife
