This is probably a really dumb question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. When I'm riding, especially at freeway speeds, the wind almost always catches the front cuff of my jeans and pushes them up my leg. Does this happen to anybody else, and if so, what do you do about it or how do you prevent it? The other bikes I've owned were sport bikes and this was never an issue, but this really bugs me. I'm considering buying a pair of those kids "mitten saver" things and attaching one end to my boots and the other to the cuff of my jeans. Someone please tell me it's not just me!

I use a set of boot straps that attach to each side of my jeans and has a bungee that runs under my boot. Paid $20 for them at the HD store. They work great.

How tall are you? Are you running the factory pegs? I'm 5'8" and only have that issue when I kick out my SwingWing pegs and straiten my legs out.

My left pants leg tends to ride up because of the wind but I don't think any girls have noticed yet. Just grin and bear it. (or, make that, bare it).

I'm 5'9" and have cobra floorboards - if I stretch my legs out they will for sure catch the wind, but even with my feet flat on the boards, they're still forward enough to catch

I.ve never noticed this happen to me. I'm 6'5 and have the 3" Scootmods forward controls. Maybe I just never paid attention to it.

lmao ;D - I really don't care who notices, it just really bugs me when that happens - and for some reason it's also my left pant leg much more often than the right.

I'll have to check for those - thanks,

You could always tight role your jeans. ;D

I have those as well. Got them for Christmas but not tried them yet. They have metal motorbikes on them. They look cool.

From checking out the links posted and replies, I guess I wasn't too far off with my "mitten clip" idea ;D

I couldn't imagine doing those up everyday. I think I'd last one day and then say screw it. I'll put up withe my pant legs rolling up.

 

[toby]

Wear boots and extra long pant's is what I do and when I going to hit freeway speeds I tuck them onto my boots especially when it's cold.

 

[middleagecrisis]

Tuck'em in your socks!

Nothing ever happens to my jeans... I am 6'3 and on stock controls...

 

[Mentat Ix]

Jeans, no, but if I wear slacks it happens. If it were going to happen all the time I'd probably get me some of those clips.
