Default 2012 WG "Pipe Dragger"

Hey Guys
Well I got first hand experience now. Wife and I road up to the Mountain Music and Motorcycle Festival at Mountain Veiw Arkansas last weekend. I was a little dissapointed with the festivities. But the ride was a blast. Hwy 5 North out of Drasco is beautiful. Scared the crap out of me the first time I heard the pipes make contact with the pavement. I sure would have thought that the pegs would have hit before the pipes did. Getting ready to change out the pipes to the V & H Bigshots soon anyway. Will these make contact with the pavement too?

Just try to lean your body more and the bike less, you can avoid alot of component dragging.

Well I was riding two-up. But my wife only weighs 100# soaking wet. I got a pretty high score on my chicken stripes too. Probably only had a 1/2" of unused rubber.
