Motorcycle foot Anchors? LOOK New Motorcycle foot CLAMPS!!!!!

[IG.]

I am very happy to see how much entertainment foot anchors provided so far. As one who never shies away from a good laugh at myself or others, I'd like to challenge everyone and take it up a notch - who can come up with the best joke about foot anchors? So far, it's been somewhat disappointing. No offence to Ken, but the joke in the initial post was just OK. On a scale 0-10, Ken's joke would pull 6.5-7 at most. Jellyrug's scooter joke earns him a solid 8. Tuf sucks in this department, and gets a disappointing 3.

I'd rate my own jokes in another thread (post#5) around 7-8, but I am biased here, and for those who hate clicking, below is a copy of my post.

I appreciate the joke. And would've never imagined that foot anchors could hook you up with so much fun! Just shows how truly universal they are.

Now that I mentioned the word 'universal', I can clearly see other uses... For example, relatively sharp grooves on the foot anchor surface and the fact that foot anchor material is harder than stainless steel - makes it a perfect... bottle opener... even easier to use when the foot anchor already installed on a bike. Nothing tastes better than a cold one at the end of a track day!

Baking something and want to create grooved surface for better presentation? Just unbolt a foot anchor from your bike, and shape your cookie to entertain your friends and family.

Use foot anchor or two as paper weights while shuffling the paperwork on the deck of your private yacht - and without worrying about the wind! Need to shred your paperwork? Just slice it with a foot anchor!

Now, this is a good one... Take ONE foot anchor with you to the bar. Just place it vertically next to you drink. You are guaranteed to be asked about it by the opposite sex... What a great conversation starter!

Fear for your safety while walking late at night (maybe from a bar)? Here is a solution... Carry a foot anchor with you attached to the extension bar (sold separately). Strong material and sharp groves make it a perfect self-defense tool.

We could go on, but you get the idea... Rustproof and foolproof! So many uses for this new and innovative product, limited by your imagination only!

Igor, I have to tell you brother, if ever we needed to hire a Senior Electrical Engineer, with persistence and perseverance like no other, you would be the first coming to mind. I think we will have a hell of a job training you how to be flexible though when you work with team members.

You have generated so much energy with this subject, I believe once you come to market over here with a project that everyone loves, your previous effort would sell it in a heartbeat. After all, it is about being well connected and everyone here knows Igor by now.

I agree, in general Tuf is way to serious about life, and his jokes are a bit dry. Once you get him p!$$ed off though the entertainment is pretty good.

Thank you for your suggestion! A completely uncharted territory for me as I know nothing about freestyle motocross besides what I occasionally see on TV. Can you recommend an online forum if you know by any chance, and I will ask these guys.

I probed interest to FA among stunters some time ago. While I haven't experienced wow factor from stunters, one stunter loved FA for stunting and in canyons, and so much so that he will be promoting among other riders. But that's just one.

Sorry, I don't know of any dirtbike/freestyle mx forums(I'm sure there are a few).
I've been off dirtbikes for several years now...that's why I'm still alive.
But, your foot anchors share a similar design to what a lot of guys use to hold there feet during back flips.
I have no idea of who sells what anymore.
Probably a lot of R&D for many types of dirtbikes, but worth looking into.

Man, when I am talking serious stuff, everyone is laughing. Just this once, I am switching to something funny, and you are getting all serious and warm on me... Electrical engineer by education, but software developer by trade...

Thanks for your kind words... I am actually a very much team player. There is a very significant project I took upon myself (much bigger than FA), and the first thing I did was to assemble a team knowing that only a team can accomplish it. But that's another story.

I've always been very "close" with electricity, and you could even say very intimate - since the day when at 12 years old or so, I connected about 30 V of AC power to a transformer with the ratio between the windings 1:50, and measured voltage on the other winding touching both probes with my bare hands. After all, 30V reduced by 50 would be less than 1V, right? So, I thought... but accidentally used the wrong winding, and instead of reducing the voltage I increased it 50 times... That was quite a slap on my hands, and they ware shaking for a while afterwards.

Testing 9V battery on the tong was norm, LOL. HAM radio, morse code, Fox Hunt... electrical engineer
