Hi Guys,
I have a BMWF800 which is obviously a suitable bike for standing on the pegs.
I recently was returning from Duedin to Nelson on a long urgent ride with little in the way of stopping. Through towns in 50kmph areas I was standing on the pegs to rest my ample, but not bike conditioned arse. I was very nervous though about seeing Mr Popo while doing so.... Thankfully I did not!
So it got me wondering, I have no idea if this would be illegal or not? Is it a grey area like lane splitting? Or a definate no-no?
Has anyone ever actually had a ticket for this?
Rastus, I would appreciate your thoughts? To me, it isnt a thing about safety, as the bike is made/setup for it and I only do it in 50kmph areas. But the last thing I need is a court date for careless riding or something...
Thanks Guys, try not to rip me a new one . I honestly have never heard of anyone having an opinion if this is OK or not...
