At first I thought they looked goony and they made getting to the kickstand difficult BUT, they make long trips much more comfortable since I can move my feet around almost to where I could if I had mid pegs. A real plus on the road! you get used to having to stretch to put up the kickstand, but I still think they take away from the sporty look of the BA. After an entire season they are still on the bike.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
