Sounds like a case of Hailwood riding style: using the toes instead of the
knees to feel the tarmac. As tyres got better in the 80's, I got the same
problem myself. Just put the tip of the toes on the foot pegs, and they'll
be out of the way. I just can't understand how you get that problem on an
@??! Even with slick like street tyres (like T-66 or Enduro 4), you must
get a lot of sliding before the toes meet the ground? Or is the difference
between the RD04 and RD07 that big when it comes to ground clearance and
roadholding??
Keep sliding
