Default Anyone drag a peg on a turn?

I have owned 4 sport bikes, 1 of these I laid down in turn. I am on my 3rd harley and the other day I dragged the peg on my forward controls on my 2010 Wide Glide for the first time. On my 2007 Street Bob I used to drag my foot if I didnt have my foot postitioned right, but I never scraped a peg. I used to drag my pipe on certain types of turns on that Street Bob, but there is nothing that will let a little turd slip out like when you hear the grind of a peg in a turn! All I could think of was that raked out front end washing out and into the woods I go.

Absolutely! I did some draggin while riding the Dragon last Sept. I was so addicted to dragging that when I got home if I didn't scrape I felt let down. It's a bad addiction. I was scraping pretty hard through some turns and knew early on how far I could go before I got that same feeling you got.

Yeah, I've drug my heel rests a few times after I lowered it in the rear.


Used to drag the indicators on the Ninja all the time... Which is why I needed to get a cruiser and SLOW DOWN.
