Hyper - calf pain

The Hyper is the my only bike I can't flat foot. Rode it for the first time in a few months last week and my calfs were pretty pissed for a few days. Can't say it's happened before, but then again that was the longest I've not ridden in years. Curios if riding "tippy toe" has caused anyone else grief.
 
The only bikes I could flatfoot with were cruisers and I haven't had one for a long time. I guess you get used to it. Throw a leg over a motocross bike and you'll appreciate how low the Hyperstrada is, lol!
 
Us short guys gotta use the "dip and plant" - lean bike towards preferred leg, peg the other, and slide off saddle just enough to lay foot flat.
