Years ago I took my cbr600 to Germany. Stayed with a cousin.
On the Sunday we went out to a local bike haunt. They were 2 up on a trails bike of some sort. My cousin says, I know I’m over far enough, when my feet touch the floor.
Feck.
How far does it get it over?

I followed him, seriously worried.
Turns out he has size 14 feet, and rides with his heels on the pegs. 😆😆😆

I can still get my knee down though. Much trickier with little legs :)

Have to lie down for a week afterwards every time, just to recover from the excitement :D
A bit weird that people are so keen on being able to do it. I'm sure I corner faster with both knees firmly against the tank.

Dragging a peg on Ms. Bonnie is not that difficult. Would need warmed up racing slicks on the Xmoto to drag a peg since it is ridiculously tall.
