Default First Scraped Peg!! Haha!
Haha! Well, I'm getting closer to the club, one step at a time. I know....total "noob" post, but hey, it was interesting.

I haven't been riding very long and recently purchased my beautiful Wide Glide (first motorcycle) but today I went out to continue improving my riding skills around a more crowded area and scraped my first peg. I'm not you guys yet, but I'll get there!

Have a great weekend and ride safe!

I don't lean far enough to scrape pegs. I did lean far enough to scrape the heal of my right boot once, scared myself a little on that one.

The boards on my RK are worn to a knife edge.

I don't scrape much, but I remeber my first one. I was on a honda shadow going through north Arkansas through some twisties .... I think I did more damage to my shorts than the pegs.... I think I was about about 17 and thought I was about to bite it!

I've never scraped my pegs and don't think I want to. I have scraped my boots heels quite often though.

Hello firewoman
If you get your boots repaired with a metal bit on the it will stop the wear and leave a nice trail of sparks the next time you tip it in.

I have always like to scrape hard parts...wife doesn't like it, so with her on I position my boots so they'll scrape before the peg or floorboard..still fun and let's me know not to go any further.
