I've found myself subconsciously doing that. I guess I just need more riding time. I'm new at this (but I love my Savage so far, even after it fell on my leg. Glad I didn't get a Vulcan).

Hmmm almost hard to relate I guess it varies heavily on height. I feel out of place when I wear anything than my Combat Boots. I feel on the odd occasions that I wear something else like tennis shoes on odd occasions out of necessity I feel I compromise some 'feel' of the bike.

You'll grow into it though! I nearly got lured into a Vulcan as my first bike. No doubt decent bikes, but not the same character or style as our spunky thumpers.

I looked at Vulcan 454's and 500's, Rebel 450's, Virago 535's, Nighthawks, etc. I like the looks of all of those, but the Vulcan is about 500 lbs. Nighthawk, about 450 I think. I'm very glad I got the Savage.
