My quest to find a better bike

Legs are too long and I can't reach the shifter or brake if my toes are retracted that far. I'm not racing (only drag when I'm doing a hard 90 degree turn and in many of those occasions I've learned to lift my feet at bit).

On the '14 bike I've gone back to stock pegs (vs. lowered) and that has helped a lot. The '13 may get stock pegs again - but she is laid up until I sell or the weather cools off.
(yikes, yelled at?) I think that would perturb me.

Yeah, iz the reason I don't wear shoes anymore on a motorcycle. I don't want to be that guy who lost their shoe on some street curbside.

I mean, ... I wear boots - not bare feet.




" ... hey Clyde, look over there. Some dude lost his shoe. Let's check it out."

"Eww, Bob?"

"Yeah Clyde."

"There's a foot inside."
