With bags, you're probably just as wide as this at just under 3'. Just sayin'.

With bags you might even be wider.

This!

A few years ago there was a young girl from Australia that came to the states to ride. Prior to coming here, she was paralyzed from the waist down due to a riding accident and essentially a bike, very similar to this Yamaha, allowed her to ride and lean like a true motorcycle. She did a whole blog over at VFRD but after their server crash, not sure if the thread was saved. If I recall correctly, the bike was built by her fiance from a kit, don't recall the bike it was built from but I recall there being a few challenges due to the lack of the use of her legs. I believe that the front brake had two levers, one for the front brake the other for the rear brake. I wish I could remember her screen name or even the thread name.

After looking at some of the comments, somebody had posted a pic of the girl on the bike she brought to the states. It was based on a KTM...

That's RiotGrrl. Lots of respect for her and her boyfriend/husband. If I remember correctly, she was paralyzed from just below the chest down. Imagine not having trunk control trying to ride anything? Haven't seen her in years, I hope she is still riding.
