Actually, this is a much better explanation than the "BS story" I cited.
Indeed, that's a good idea. Down shifting is no problem, but up-shifting is hard and requires effort.
Probably, juts a stud screwed in the boot's heel would do, without being so conspicuous as a spur.

I'm surprised noone mentioned this but back in the day guys wore a spur on their left footto change gears without having to move there foot back to the mid controls, while their foot was on the highway bar peg they would hang the gear shift lever with the spur and could shift it up or down. Thats how it was explained and demonstrated to me by some greybeards that worked at the indy shop I hung out at, I'm sure at some point guys started wearing them just cause they thought it was cool.

I doubt the brand of motor oil much matters boys as long as it has good viscosity.
Bullrider sex!? I'd call that suicide sex! [8D]

I almost embarrassed to tell this story, but back in the mid-eighties, I owned a pair of boots that I installed taps on the heels... They did serve a purpose, it kept the heel from wearing, but I really thought it sounded cool when I walked into a bar and you could hear the "click-click" of my heels... I hopeI don't get banned from the forum for this...

Poser... All day long.
I have 2 sets of spurs that girls bought for me back inmy barhopping days. Never have
worn them. I dont even wear them when riding a horse, much less going dancing or riding my bike.
