foot position

[DreKat]

I have been riding for 10years now and the other day I realized that when my feet are on the foot pegs I ride with my toes. I never noticed before so I started moving my feet around like riding on the arch of my foot and also the heal but I found that I felt like I had more control riding with my toes and aslo some how felt the road better through my legs.

Is this just me or do you ride this way aswell?

i keep the balls of my feet on the pegs. then move forward when i need to use the controls.

I'll keep my midsoles on the pegs when riding on the highway, but when I want to ride the twisties I'll put the balls of my feet on the pegs to keep the toes up and in away from the pavement.

I too ride with the balls of my feet on the pegs. The only time I don't is long highway trips when my legs start cramping up. I'll just move around to give my legs a brake, but after I get my legs loosened up I go back to my normal position.

I was watching the new endurance series on speed the other day and noticed one of the riders not riding with the balls of his feet. He setup for a turn burned his foot on the pavement and went down hard. Always ride on the balls of your feet when cornering. Although on a goldwing even if you keep your feet tucked in you'll still burn your boot, lol

I have rashed my boots a little due to foot placement in hard corners. My problem is letting my feet turn out while riding. It is comfortable in a straight away, but when those corners come up tuck those boots in.
