I do like having the boards to shift myself to a more comfortable position even on shorter rides. Like mentioned though, wet boots, tiny feet (4 1/2 boys) and a tang hidden under the floor board that doesn't seem to like folding out of the way...well it can make for an interesting combo. My right hip is my tender one and reason for going with floorboards to begin with. Gets very frustraiting to bear weight on that side for long.
I also like that they get attention. People tend to stop me and talk to me about my bike whenever I stop. My husband warned me that would happen just because it is a Triumph.
