How quick do you get it up?

[Whosthedaddy]

When pulling from the lights, how quick do you get your feet up on the pegs?

I don't think I'm even moving and they're back up which is bizarre compared to some of the courier types that are tens or hundreds of feet down the road and still have then dangling down all spread eagle like.

Depends how bored I am tbh.
Sometimes I drag my foot half way down the road, to get a lil foot rub from Misses road, others I lift right away

[c_dug]

Have thought the same sometimes too, I see people 50 meters down the road with one leg still dangling.

I'm like you, up the second I am moving.

Pretty much straightaway.
Same goes for stopping, if yer get me.

Only racers should trail a right leg.

[Slacker24seve...]

When pulling away to the right I will occasionally dangle my left leg for some bizarre reason. Other than that its straight up and onto the pegs!

Being as I hope to take my test in the next couple of months I am trying to be a perfect rider. So hencz always using left leg down and bringing it straight to the peg as I am moving off.

[warped one]

From what I remember of riding.

I watch the lights with the bike in neutral, talk to the GF and the moment they turned from red to amber, I leant forward, as this was happening my feet came up and 1st was selected the clutch out and gone.

I suppose it all depends on how comfortable you are. From realising the lights where changing to riding off only took at most 2 seconds.

Did make me always wonder when you see a ped boi hanging ong with feet swept back looking at the duckboard in some vain hope of going faster, then staring at you at the next set trying to eye another race.

i always do the Hendon shuffle at the lights so i'm usually straight back up on the pegs as soon as i'm moving..

[rac3r]

Moving off I'm straight up but when there is a bit of stop start traffic I tend to drag my left foot sometimes

Usually straight away, although in stop start traffic (not that I'm usually stopped by that but if I'm in it) ill sometimes use the insignia/out setting plastic thing on the front of my boot against the pillion peg, so my shin is basically holding my leg up (This is my left leg), and keep my right foot on the peg. Even though I always put my left leg down I never really end up with the shuffle thing because if I'm at the lights long enough to want to go in to neutral I usually put both feet down and stretching my legs anyway.

[Mart_er6]

Sometimes I like to put both feet up before I start moving to test my
balance on the bike.. if you're feeling rather brave see how long you
dare to remain stationary like this** !! But usually my left foot is raised
as I set off (right foot always on the peg when stopped already).

Some times i put my feet up before i start moving. I only do this on bike's i'm comfortable with and if i don't have a pillion.

Usually i just leave my foot in one place on the ground, then as i ride off the foot goes backwards and gets lifted up like with taking a step when walking. Once the foot is off the ground it gets put on the peg.

[Paxovasa]

I lift my foot as soon as the bikes starts to move






I guess we can call it premature elevation
