Draggin' feet
 

Do you do it? If so, how far and why?

Just something that came to me as i was riding behind someone the other day.

I always put my feet on the pegs as soon as I get under way; the exception is when I'm in a line of traffic moving up to a stop sign when I know I'm only going a carlength or so- then I usually tuck my feet behind the pegs (naked SV, standard riding position).

I've noticed that rydaz around here (as opposed to riders or bikers) almost always leave their feet hanging until 30 MPH or so, usually spread as wide as they can with toes pointed out to the sides. Seriously... I don't get it? :scratch: This seems to apply even if they're rock-steady at low speed, so it's not a barely-able-to-ride thing, and even if they're the first in line at a light with open road ahead.

Does anyone here do this? :scratch:

:?:No

:lol: I drag my feet, hang off the side, etc for various reasons, often in a straight line...and even in moderate turns...

1) Im friggin hot and holding my legs out gets me some much needed ventilation

2) Im bored as hell

3) Im farting off just because I can...

On long trips I drag my feet, Usually 1 at a time to stretch out my legs. I have bad knees and they can't take being bent for hours on end.

I'll do it after a long day of riding as I come thru out little town headed home. It's just a way to stretch out my legs but other than stretching or getting some ventilation I don't see the point.

Unless you're trying to be cool like Rossi....:nana:

i do it on occasion. my boy tom does it all the time, but he drag races his K5 so it could be habit from that

I always thought people do that leaving lights cause they are imitating drag racers and how they leave their feet down leaving from the line.

me too! :lol

I know some guys that do it like you described but in general I think they're tools. :idk:

Nope, I get mine up on the pegs as quickly as possible. :shrug:

Lame.
