Thanks guys for some really helpful thoughts here..
I can live with feet on tip toes, but I guess I'm going to have to just live with the idea of only 1 at a time! (It takes me back to riding my dad's racer push bike to do my paper-round on LOL!)
Good tip on watching where you stop to help you (not like I did when I was still learning and stopped on very steep camber and fell over! - and that was on a bike where I could easily have feet on the floor!)
I get that things will take practice - and some old habits will probably die hard too - been riding sports bikes too long!.
Love the photo of Fritz - he's well laden!!
Geoff - thanks for XT weblink - have had a quick look around - looks good!
Cheers guys .... now I just need to finish that tax return, clear some space in the garage... find an XT .. and then find me some dirt to play on...
