Tourer
what?
I must have missed something (not the first time though) because I have no idea what duck walking your bike actually is, or is this one of those inside jokes that only a few of the forum members know about? Could this be the new biker exercise AND higher mpg averages too. Going uphill has to be a real *itch.

They use it in the class as one of the step towards learning to use the clutch and balance the bike. Remember some of the students have never sat on a bike or used a clutch before.

Although in fairness, sit at any "biker bar" or Rally.... and you'll see a LOT of folks duck walking....

Duck Walk a Trike?
Yep, duck walkin is necessary at times. If it weren't for duck walkin, I couldn't get thru some places. But hate it? like it? Never occurred to me if I had a choice in either. Legs are just more 'tools' to get the job done easier...
NSC, I feel yer pain bro. I had to run for a few years with a leg brace from an accident that's all but forgotten now. The permanent limp keeps reminding me of it, tho. The plastic made me look like the kid with polio in those old movies which the other kids made fun of. I tossed the plastic, cuz for me it was more of a nuiscance than help.

Got a few other busted up joints, pinned and screwed together, had to go with a trike! Just to keep my knees in the wind a few more years...
