I rode over 100 miles and didn't go anywhere, except for circles Laughing

I regularly ride in an industrial estate in Calcot, some may know of it. i ride between two roundabouts, one busy and the other deserted, between the roundabouts there is a nice long stretch of road with a good bend in it.

When riding through today i noticed another biker on the side having a ciggy, i carried on going circled the roundabout multiple times, and headed off. As i was going off he waved me over. We had a chat about perfecting my ride, and told me to use the throttle smoothly and eventually i would be able to get my knee down.

I wasn't expecting him to talk to me as i am on a 50 (he was on a R1) but he gave me some sound advice as later on that day, after putting on my leathers, my toe hit the floor,. i was so pleased and was having so much fun i just carried on going. When i pulled over, after becoming a little dizzy i realised that that the road had eaten in to my boots, never mind.

A big thanks for the guy on the Blue R1, nice wheelie.

Anyone know where i can get some new toe sliders?

Plenty of life left in those!

Mine are truely fucked. Finding replacement sliders is a nightmare.

Eventually you'll realise dragging your toes becomes expensive and you soon stop doing it. Put the balls of your feet on the pegs, not the soles of your feet and it'll keep your toes out of the way.

It also helps point your knee in the right direction.
