G'day mate. What do you mean "... will scrape ..."? You mean when turning into a spot turn so sharply/low that the pegs or floorboard would scrape?

I was at a gas station in damn hot Nevada this summer. A group of touring bikes pulled to the pumps. The group leader smartly dismounted and in an instant realized he had forgotten to put the KS down. The howling laughter from his buddies I'm sure still echos in his head.
