Funny how motocross technique triclked down to MotoGP. I used to do the leg out thing in the 80's on the street when front grip was questionable! You are a nice sole Paul!

My right leg is longer so it has a tendency to touch more. Stadium section, 16,17,18 is where most abuse happens. Usually a gauge for lean unless I want to show one of the liter guys how to go around a corner after passing them. Boots will touch if I am not focused on getting on balls of my feet. You can see the wear spots on bottom of boots. Have new Alpinestar boots but the Gearne boots are very well built with plenty of ankle protection. The Taichi suit is the best and so are their gloves.

If you saw my left leg, pins in pelvis and my new medicare payments. Yes you can. Leg was 1974 GT 380 Suzuki and pelvis was a Cannondale Six. Age is relative.

"medicare payments"
makes me glad I decided to start racing at the old age of 25, with 2 kids as my pit crew. at the time I figured it was then or never.

Good for you. As long as I am excited, stay fearful, and I know what riders to keep an eye on I will continue.
