I was noticing something about my riding style the other day. Of course, as I get more and more miles under my belt, I'm more and more comfortable taking corners faster and leaning over further. I just started paying attention to my foot position, and it got me thinking. When I have my boots on, I have the footpegs all the way back against the heel of the boot, so that my feet stick out...also, I tend to rotate my toes outward a bit.
Which got me to thinking...If I'm in a curve at speed, leaned over just a little further, won't the toes of my boots touch the ground before the peg? and if it does, wouldn't that bring my foot to a screeching hault, while the bike and the rest of me keeps going, ripping off an appendage that I would prefer to keep?!?!?
Or am I worrying too much?
