Bit of a late reply but here's my tuppence worth.
I have a 27" inside leg (don't laff), and I'm a 30 year old (+100% vat) granny. I'm on my 3rd TDM in around 12 years and I've only ever dropped one once and that was as I was foolishly parking on a hill and it slipped off the side stand. Oh no, wait, twice, once on a gravel car park in Pennan 10 years ago, and it's on Youtube if you want a good laugh.
NB - the video is pre-IAM training, I use better road lines now and don't fall over when I turn. I also avoid gravel car parks.
It's all about practise and good planning. I did the IAM course and went on to be an observer for a few years. I can't recommend the IAM course highly enough. My slow speed skills were dire before that so I was lucky not to drop it more often. I'm used to watching where I stop and making sure my foot isn't going to land in a hole. I watch out for dodgy cambers and make use of curbs if necessary. I'm also using a custom Topsellerie seat that's seen me through the whole 12 years and 3 bikes and although it's wasn't a low seat, it's probably pretty squashed now. That helps a lot. I tried longer dog bones a couple of years ago at the suggestion of my well-meaning husband. I detested the handling on the bike when it was lowered. I changed them back straight away.
I also have Daytona MStar boots which are expensive but brilliant. My first pair last 10 years before the soles started to wear out. You'll never ever have wet feet with a pair of Daytonas. Have a look on eBay and buy direct from Germany, much cheaper than UK prices.
I have no issue with the height or weight of the bike, even fully loaded. Although I do struggle to manoeuvre it from the ground these days, unless I'm actually on it. But that's what husbands are for.
Mine's the grey bike (and the fastest).
