its not THAT far down.. LOL! I Think my Dad wore some thick A$$ boots so it was up a ways. I wear thin sport bike boots so I pretty much had to lift my whole leg to get to the shifter. So I adjusted it to my liking. I'll find the pegs before I find my foot... @ least I'm gonna assume thats what the noise was grinding on the ground in the twisttysOriginally posted by motoman View Post

Some of us have cut those wires to the safety switch.. so yeah, some of us on XJ's do this also. lol.Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

It could be. Tod wrestled hard and kicked it away and both of them rolled down the road but in the end Tod was still on top.
That's the first time I've seen someone roll down the road at 50MPH and land on their feet too.
He had to ride home 200 miles with only one footpeg though.
