I'm not as tall and handsome as dallas but can also get both feet flat on the ground. Still I only have one foot down at the same time so that's my comfort limit. Been taught (the hard way) that "if your feet leaves the footpegs you have already fallen" going offroad so I always keep at least one foot up.

Turbulence has been discussed in a numerous threads around here, try Nicks windstopper, test removing the windshield or get an extension. Or just get used too it and wear earplugs, most bikes like these no matter what brand seem to have this problem. Usually when the turbulence gets too tiering I just stand up and drive for a while, had plans for a mod of the windshield but I never got my thumb out..
