    Default Motorcyclists and Their Feet Off the Pegs While in Motion

    What is up with this? I watched guy clip a crack in the road with his toes, I would have laughed even harder if he had wrecked.

    I don't understand the whole dragging of feet once in motion.
    Then again i don't grasp the concept of a $150-400 helmet while wearing sneakers, no shoes, flipflops, shorts and a tank top.

    You're not in NY anymore. They're "tennis shoes" out here. I was corrected on this a week or so ago. LOL

    Typically it keeps the organs viable until the can be properly harvested.....

    Maybe I'm just have a strong aversion to road rash, but yeah I don't get it either.

    Sometimes to change position on a long ride. In a corner during low ish speeds to insure against falling. In a group to indicate a caution for following riders.

    Clipping your toes like you described is just dumb

    Being a former rider I can understand a few seconds but I've seen riders do it for blocks and blocks.
