Jazz and relaxing.

Ok so I have been riding since I was 12 or 13. street since 14 off and on because of having kids and no money.

I always stayed well with in comfort limits for me till I bought the connie then, I started pushing my comfort level and trust in tires and bikes. then sold and bought the FJR I still figure me riding aggressive enough to scrape a peg was just not something I would do. Listening to Fourplay on the Ipod and trying to stay ahead of a new corvette getting on the freeway this morning... I actually had my first peg scrape. OH **** what was that. then I just grinned and Stayed in it.

I know not a big deal but, you probably remember the first time you did it to.

Musta been the Jazz.

Yeah, I remember my first split-second reaction was to stand it back up. But then in the next split-second held the line and thought "Oh, so that's what it's like".

When peg scraping became more common I then started concentrating more on body positioning to get more cornering clearance. And then after that I discovered aftermarket suspensions helped that as well. Each step of my enlightenment has been a whole new world to explore, practice and get comfortable all over again.

Hope you guys don't have highway pegs!!!!!

 

[Luke]

yes, I do!

And I am the one who has them adjusted up and away so they would touch AFTER the pegs and muffler touch. And no, I haven't touched down the highway pegs. Don't plan to either!

Rockin good time.

I get a lot of toe scrapes on the street even with my feet back as if I was on a sportbike.

When my wife starts getting nervous, she squeezes me with her legs. If I don't ease up, she resorts to slapping the back of my helmet. If I scrape a peg with her on the back, I will definately hear about it...You ever seen that picture of the two lions?
