Who on an Ss can regularly scrapes the pegs?

[moshaholic2]

I'm just curious...looking for honest answers, not chest pounding.

I ride an Ss and consider myself a "decent" rider and on the aggressive side. I live in the mountains w/ lots of twisties w/ the occasional 180 degree switchback.

But, w/ the extra height if the Ss models, I find it hard to or not even necessary to get that much lean angle out of these bikes inorder to get the peg down to the ground, and still zip around the corners w/ speed.

In fact, the last 1/4" of my rear tire doesn't see much use.

I imagine on a long sweeper on a track I may push it through w/ the speed required to get that low in a turn, but thats about it.

How about the other Ss riders out there? And any pics?

Not even close here. I live in wisconsin so there is not many turns i trust enough to try. Gotta love gravel shoulders and farms every couple miles. Usually have about a half inch chicken strip on either side.

I think its member dragonslayer that always has some insane pics of him leaning his uly over like its a 250. Impresive ****.[up]

I have itty bitty chicken strips left on my rear tire and have never hit the pegs. And mines and SCG! Although I do have the peg feelers removed.

I have gone to the edge of my tyres on the LHS and not scraped
