Well finally got bike running great today so rode over to a friends house to show him. So I pulled up to his garage where he and another friend was standing next to a 79 Moto Guzzi and as I stopped I slowly fell over on the left side. (Just like Arte Johnson on Laugh In). The loop on my tennis shoe laces caught on my shifter and I couldn't put my foot down. Didn't hurt me or the bike but we sure got a good laugh out of it. And I'm sure this won't be the last I hear of it. Will send in my donation tonight.

Maybe thats why Boots are considered part of the Safty Equipment??

 

 

Glad you didn't hurt anything.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that get's them caught it has happen to me more on this bike than any bike, no I never drop mine and I'm glad you are ok, but I have miss a few gears and no I don't wear boots to work so I slip tennis shoes on, now when I'm doing my weekend riding I wear boots

And that's why I always tuck my shoe laces into my shoes and don't double knot either.

I'm really not one to talk. Since last accident I haven't been able to get boots on. I wear a pair of old Sketchers and don't even tie them.Did catch leg of jeans on the thing and kicked so hard it ripped the jeans. Glad it was my good leg!!!

Never ride without Western boots. Nothing to catch.

I was backing my bike into it's shed and got the laces caught on the kickstand. I couldn't shake it loose. I couldn't get the kickstand down. So I was in the shed yelling for my daughter, who was in the house, to come and save me!

Bet she thought you were a Halfwit.

She is actually a Half Witt too. The other half is Medlar.

 

She laughed at me. She was also with me when I got my new Jeep Wrangler stuck in a snow bank in the grocery store parking lot a few years ago. She has some good ammo on dad.

Here in Oz old bikers call flip flops "japanese flying boots"

comes from wearing airforce flying boots on the bike back in the 50's & 60's.

Man, that's a helpless OS feeling when the dreaded lace reaches out and grabs the shift arm. Happened once. Never again. Now I tuck the laces or wear the boots....

Been there almost did that, mine came loose at the last minute. Even worse I was in my truck one day coming to a red light and my shoe lace from my left foot caught on the brake pedal and I couldn't get my foot on the clutch and with a diesel it just keeps on pulling, lucky I thought in time to shut off the switch or it would never have stopped. I try to always change into my boots when riding but sometimes I jump on and go without thinking.
