used mine a few times when i had a broken ankle once healed so i had the strenth to lift up i went toe shifter.
one other time i was at my gate after a three day event in nuetral i stood up to get off and stepped on the heal shifter luckly the engine when it went into gear.
I'm a heel/toe kind of guy, both on my '06 Classic and my Harley. Long live heel/toes! It also means I can walk, talk and chew gum all at the same time, unlike folks that can only use their toes. My Gasolina boots also stay very pretty, and mar free, like me.
