Has anyone ever ridden a motorcycle barefoot?

Question

Just curious.

Answer 1

I'm not quite that stupid... nor do I know anyone who is... that's just asking for a trip to the ER

Answer 2

I love going barefoot, do almost everything barefoot and I'm always telling people that feet are much tougher than most people who rarely go barefoot would think -glass or thorns aren't any problem when you regularly go barefoot. But I still wouldn't ride a motorcycle barefoot. Since I *really* hate footwear (and I'd hate wearing a helmet too; I dislike all thick, restrictive gear!) this means I stick to cars, bicycles, walking and other methods of transportation where you don't need so much safety clothing. But if I didn't have any other choice and had to ride a motorcycle to get somewhere really important, I'd wear boots and helmet.

Answer 3

Uhhhm...NO!

Answer 4

no. thats stupid

Answer 5

I would pass out before I got THAT drunk!

Answer 6

apparently you havent either

Answer 7

No way, that is just as bad as riding in heals or flip flops (yes you people know who) you don't want to even ride bare foot

Answer 8

Barefoot - no.

Flip-flops - no comment.

Answer 9

Not exactly barefoot, but i have rode my dirtbike and fourwheeler in just socks. I never rode very far when i did this.

It wasnt the smartest thing to do, its pretty painful. It hurts to kick start the bike, the pegs have raised ridges, it takes alot of pressure to upshft, and the brake pedals have raised ridges, lots of discomfort involved in the rides.

I cant say that it was the smartest rides i have been on, but i probably will do it again.

Answer 10

Only for four feet- from the front of my garage to the back of it. Have to put it in gear with my hands (first gear is one up).

Are you nuts? There is only one form of appropriate footwear on a motorcycle- BOOTS with non-skid soles.

Answer 11

I have - in the long ago past.

But it is very very unsafe to do so.

Answer 12

No Way, No How!!!

Pure stupidity to do so.

Answer 13

You are asking for a lot of pain my friend.  Only a total jerk or, idiot would decide to do such a dumb thing.  You might as well leave the helmet at home also.

Answer 14

I am 50 Years old and have yet to be that Drunk or High.

Answer 15

why dont u just ride naked at 175 km/h, with a helmet... sounds dumb eh?? just as dumb as riding barefoot

Answer 16

Sure, they're easy to spot. Just look for people that have nothing where they're toes used to be.
