Note to the obese: I have a 34” inseam. I’m not responsible for that in any way. Where’s my pity party, eh?

Same, and despite having a 33” waist, my shoulders are more than 24” wide

If I don’t get a vacant seat next to me on a flight I’m basically sitting sideways

I worked at First Virtual Holdings, Inc for a couple years. We had some well respected staff including Nathanial Borenstein (creator of the MIME standards) and Marshall Rose (creator of SNMP protocol). Marshall is pretty tall. He walked into my office and was more than annoyed at gazing down into my 6 ft tall halogen lamp. When we traveled, Marshall always sought exit row (emergency door) seating to accommodate his very long legs.

I have the opposite case. 5 ft 11 in with 30" inseam, 32" waist, 156 lbs (as low as 146 lb when I watch my diet carefully). I recently converted my Suzuki DR650 to 17 inch supermoto wheels. That lowered the seat height nicely and put street tires (GPR100) on the bike. A better fit for the way I use the bike.
