I guess the rules vary from state to state .

The latest from the National Transport Commission, trying standardize the rules across the country.

*To allow a rider to remove his/her feet from the footrest to
manoeuvre the vehicle, such as reversing the bike into a parking space

So now i can reverse park with out having to balance.
still can't legally remove your feet from the foot peg to stretch your legs, while moving over 10 klm/r  

*Allow to remove both  hands of the handle bars while stationary but not parked

But at least you can scratch your nuts while waiting at the lights  
or for the ladies,  adjust your  Boobies probably need two hands for that  


NTC Road rules amendment

Rule 271
â€"
riding on motorbikes: to allow a rider to remove his/her feet from the footrest to
manoeuvre the vehicle, such as reversing the bike into a parking space, or when the motor
bike (at low speed <10km/h) is decelerating to come to a rest, or accelerating from a rest.

To further allow a rider to remove both hands off the handlebars when the bike is stationary
but not parked.

Is this the For Sale thread..?

If so I have a set of black Rizoma sport bars going for half price, never used.   

Are they extra wide?

  This would be them

   

 

It's funny until you remember that we're all paying these bozos to come up with this crap 

Really?  So I will have to stop doing my 180km/h somersaults off the bike then now that I know it is illegal to take my feet off the pegs
