chevysoldier Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I don't ride a cruiser but have ridden cruisers with them. As dumb as it looks it's actually really comfortable. Although I can't say I'd ride that way on a curvy road like he's on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenTwelve Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I honestly believe that riding position was partially responsible for an acquaintance losing one of his legs after a side-swipe accident with a car on a blind curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garvinzoom Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I don't even like to sit on bikes at the dealerships with forward controls, feels totally unnatural to me and that just looks awkward as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I have an extra set of pegs attached to the engine guards of my Volusia. I switch between the regular footpegs and the forward-mounted footpegs on long freeway trips to combat cramp/fatigue etc. (just like changing your seating position to combat numb-bum syndrome)I only use those pegs when I'm alone on a straight freeway. Never when there are cars around, or in corners or any other time when I could need the foot controls. I have never used them on my commute.

KimR Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I had a V-Star for a year and sold it because the foot-forward riding position (even when not using the highway pegs) did not give me adequate control (and also because the bike was a dog). But it is a personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
