Ever unintentionally scrape a peg? - Page 3

Yeah... my wife's VLX is so ridiculously low that i've dragged the pegs just riding around town.

There's also a nasty curve going up to Caesar's Head that gets me every time I ride there, a very tight, sharply inclined right-hander banked the wrong way... the road comes up so abruptly you can almost drag peg riding dead upright.

Yes, it was unintentional when I crashed.

Did it all the time on the Ninja 250. It stopped surprising me pretty quick.

Yes. Scraped my pipes too. Wakes you up and makes you get off your butt!!

Same here.

Nope. If my pegs hit, I'm afraid the rest of me is going to be on the ground shortly after.

LOL - I made a point to do it every time I rode Lisa's old F4i (she had to lower it to be closer to flat footing it). Her 600RR has higher pegs so even though it's lowered as well, I've not ridden it enough to do so yet.

You jinxed me Particle! I was riding at Summit Point today and clipped my peg on the curbing in a left-hander, sending me into an immediate low-side. Fortunately when my bike hit the dirt, it flipped and smashed the right side up too so everything matches again.
