I prefer to have the feet on the pegs at even the slowest speed. I even find myself practicing riding at lower than ldle with my feet on the pegs.

Yup ! I liike feeling all superior like that when I see these gobers on uber-sport bikes that can't get across a parking lot without their feet down or one wheel up . I do it with a passenger , and used to do it on the dresser I used to have . I'd kinda like to do one of those "slow races" one day just to see ....

when you see someone walking their bike its a good sign that they are a new rider, or need to work on their slow speed skills

I can ride feet up slower than I can walk.

I would love to have a trials bike just to play going slow...

Usually ride with feet up on pegs..even practice that as others have mentioned in the street in front of my house..but when I've been in heavy stop and go traffic I tend to do different things to pass the time. walk my bike, let me feet slide, also when stopped on a slight hill I'll do some exercises by moving my bike uphill and back down back and forth..3 sets of 10 lol

At MMI we had to walk the bikes, standing beside them all the time. we weren't even allowed to sit on them.

would you still have your feet on your pegs even if you had reverse?? yikes! some BMW's have reverse huh? or was it the goldwings?

[blacksheep]

always on the pegs if I'm moving forword even at the slowest speed. On the ground when the bike is stationay.

Im not sure about the bmw's but I know the 'wings have reverse. You almost have to w/ a bike that big..its just way to hard to back it up w/ out.

Around here, I see nearly every HD "paddle walking" the bike anytime it goes below 5 mph - even if it's to, and from, stop lights.

If I can reach out and touch pedestrians, I let my feet hover, never "paddle walk" - otherwise, they're on the pegs where they belong.

When I do put a foot down to stand/stop, it's usually just the left one so the right can stay on the brake.

Well...I guess it depends on how many beers I drank...after a 12pack I always ride with my feet dragging the ground... ...Im kidding...I never ride even after 1 beer...when going slow I always keep my feet on the pegs...Unless near gravel or slippery conditions..

just use the landing gear

[WildKat]

you need spotters for those things too

If the crowds are thick enough to concern me that someone will wander into my path in the last second, especially drunks (say BikeWeek while moving around the stadium parking lot in the afternoon), I have my feet out gliding over the ground, so if I have to slam the brakes, the bike won't go down.

Around town, etc., feet up.

for backing up give it one big push

on the pegs, the best thign at the msf course was when they make you go as slow as possible, with out touching your feet on teh ground and go as long as you can. its fun i do it once in a while with my bike
