    CCCCCccckkkummmmon! Where do ya put your feet? K'inell. Where you need em! I did a Yerpean blast, nearly 1000k's a day on the big roads. I had my feet on the tank, indicators, rear pegs, any where to get rid of cramp in me arse. If I was flexible enough I would have had the Sidis hanging over the bars. It's not black & white, it's here & now!
    After 3 days I found an Alp. Balls on the tank & balls on the pegs. Neck stuck out, head pivoting like something from the exorcist, arse just kissing the seat as it passed, hard on the gas from the apex, just like that, da da!
    Manopausal.

    Yes, the primary brake is the front one - it is not the only one ... and of course it is the one I use first ... how do you think I have survived on the road so long ... (40 years of madness on two wheels ...) but if you ignore the rear brake then in an emergency you are ignoring some of your stopping power ..
    So you are willing to sacrifice control, so you don't have to move your foot?

    So you have 40 years on two wheels... Is that 40 times the same year?

    Why should you care where I put my feet? Or what I think?
    Do your own thing, Man...
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    I'm not worried about what you think, or any body else specifically. But I like to do the research and find the best way to ride, rather than just assume I naturally know everything like most people seem to.

    The reason behind the thread was based on the fact that after seeing every biker I see on the road ride with their arches on the pegs, I was wondering if there was a reason for that since I feel I have better control with the balls of my feet on the pegs
