They say I shouldn't buy a tadpole.

"Local" bent dealer is steering me away from tadpoles. I'm 6'2" and he says I'll have a hard time getting out of one. Furthermore, at 330#, I'm told I'm a bit heavy for a tadpole, not because of the weight, but because high speed turns will put too much side loading on the wheels.

What does experience tell you folks?
