Note to self-PUT FEET DOWN !

It isn't always best to put your feet down! I just started riding a Trike (leg problems) & I have been riding since 1959/60 always on a two-wheeler. I now have a Sportster 1200 with a trike kit. The exhaust pipes are on the same side. I now have 2cd degree burns on my rt leg. even tho it was unnecessary , with a trike , out of habit I put my legs down when stopping. I burned my leg & didn't feel it because I have Diabetic neuropothy in my legs & have very little feeling in them! It's amazing how your reflexes from many yrs. of riding just take over. Irish
