  1. your feet reach the pegs right? thats where they go when you're riding. hell, its basically a dirtbike. if a 15 year old kid can ride a 250f so can you :)

    IMO just lean and stand with one foot.

    motard FTW

    Exactly. I don't think you'll find a street worthy supermoto under 30" seat height. Its based off a dirtbike frame. I have to hang off all my bikes at stops to touch one foot.

  2. Fun race. Nice lens on the camera! Did you have a media pass? Many of my photos included the chain link fence separating me from the action...

     

    Thanks, no media pass.

    There are a few places around the track you can avoid the fence as a spectator. I shot these from the bleachers just before pit lane.

  3. IMO its uncomfortable because you havent ridden WITH them enough. if you have some motorcycle specific boots, they will not impair your shifting at all.

     

    those shoes you posted, they will be the very first thing to fly off in a crash.

    just wear the gear damnit.

     

     

    Agreed. First thing that happens in most wrecks is knuckles hit and shoes fly off. Get used to riding with boots. At the very least pick up some casual riding shoes from Icon, etc. They are a good compromise between protection and comfort.

     

    Forget wrecking, ever seen a chain snap at 100mph? Ever seen someone stop at a light only to get their shoelace caught on a peg when trying to put a foot down?
