Thanks for that, I appreciate it.
And I was wondering if that was indeed the case. To make things worse, the bike was brand new, the boots were brand new, and I hadn't ridden a [motor]bike in 25 years. So yeah, shifting wasn't as easy as I wanted it to be on the way home from the dealer. Wasn't bad, and I didn't miss any gears, but it was more of a struggle than I was comfortable with (and not how I remembered it with my old, crappy DR125 back in the day wearing sneakers).
Maybe they will eventually wear in after all the weed trimming I have been doing!?
Again, thanks for the encouragement.
