Sole food

Are you taking care of your sole? No, really. This saturday night, on my way home from work, my foot nearly slipped off the footpeg because at the previous traffic light, I'd neglected to see that I was standing in a tiny puddle and was getting my boot sole wet. Feet slipping off the peg is a scary, disconcerting event in a ride and it doesn't matter whether the footpeg is rubber or metal. It's destabilises the motorcycle. And if you think about it, there's no quick solution, short of stopping and wiping the sole and the peg down properly. So watch where you step before you ride. At least water dries up eventually. What it it were oil?
