Yes, it is possible to ride a motorcycle without moving your feet. There are a few scenarios in which this can happen:

  1. Riding downhill or with sufficient momentum: If you are riding downhill or have enough speed and momentum, you can keep your feet on the foot pegs without needing to use them for balance or propulsion. Your body weight and the motorcycle's stability will help maintain balance.

  2. Using a motorcycle with a sidecar or trike: Motorcycles equipped with a sidecar or a third wheel (trike) provide additional stability, allowing riders to keep their feet stationary while riding. The sidecar or extra wheel provides extra balance and support.

  3. Stopping and balancing: When you come to a complete stop, you can keep your feet on the foot pegs and maintain balance using the motorcycle's weight and stability. This requires good balance and control over the bike.

Your feet are used to support the bike when you stop, stabilize the motorcycle at low speeds, and help maneuver it effectively. It is generally recommended to keep both feet on the foot pegs while riding for safety and control.
