AMA rule 2.H

It reads in part  "Foot operated comtrols must PIVET indepentently"  :? I've been riding over 50 years and don't know exactly what this means.  Chris

The foot rest must remain stationary while the lever for the control pivots. It can pivot around the foot rest support, as some OEM controls do, but the foot rest must not pivot with it.
Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word 'safe' that I wasn't previously aware of.  Douglas Adams
