Nothing earth shaking here...just ran across these, and you guys have probably seen them a million times, but I hadn't, so I thought I'd share. They look easy enough to make, but they aren't expensive, either. Nice little alternative for those of us with big feet. Anyway...

BTW...supposed to be 70 here today. It's 33 and there was a snow flurry around 7 AM.

Seen thewm before. Look like they would be Ok until you try and go around a corner. They hit. They fold back. Your foot is now under your floorboard as the bike lowsides. Or I could be wrong.

That would be the rider's responsibility to remember to bring his/her foot up so that doesn't happen, Musky. Unless of course, you had a few beers (which I know you aren't suppose to when riding a bike) and you don't think of moving your feet. ANything could happen with or without the blades.

Hey beefcake

It was mostly just a joke but knowing how easy it is to scrape the boards unexpectedly I can see bad things happening. Got any riding in yet?

Musky...I only got about 70 miles or so in back when we had that 70-80 degrees a couple weeks ago. I am so bummed out with this frickin weather. I'm chompin at the bit right now. Although, now that I think about it, it's better that we are having this snow and crappy weather now since I have a front tire on order and should be here on Tuesday. How many mile have you got on now this year? I know you were counting down the days till you went riding. By the way, have you heard if Dennis Kirk is gonna have an open house this year?

Beat my riding deadline by 2 days I got out riding 4 days so far I think. Couple hundred miles I guess. This winter just beat the crap out of me. Seemed like it wouldn't end although I was only down for 108 days which really isn't that bad for these parts. Then it get warm and goes right back to this S--T Haven't heard anything about Kirk. When, where, got a link or anything?
