I ask because several members have commented on the tight spacing down there and the way the foot peg is set, it's easy for the left edge of the front of the boot to depress the pedal without the rider realizing it. When I first got my CB, I had just read of that on the forums here and more than once when I looked down I noticed that my boot was indeed half on the brake pedal and I didn't even know it.Not condescending at all...good question. Answer is no. I have the (bad or good) habit of getting my right toes on the peg the soonest I start to move.

I have ridden hundreds of miles without ever touching the brakes, and have ridden where you are stopping every few hundred yards it seems. One is harder on the brakes than the other.That must be it. I'm mostly in downtown traffic...but I still feel cheated out on 10k breaking distance. Dang it!
