The guys I ride with where just talking about this, we're all over 55 and we love to corner and watch the sparks fly at night... thats what we just said, all harleys are make to corner at twice or three times the posted limit. we sit in the coffee house in the mornings and measure the amount we grind off our pegs from 1 week to the next,...
good job on driving like an idiot like we do....

Yep, knocking the chrome off the ends of the pegs is easy enough and if you are lucky your bike will sit you down on day and tell it like it is.

There is a road behind my house I take often on my country "burn up the road" rides, and one particular turn I decided I had to take @ 50. Seemed I could almost do it but try I might I was always a little slower. One day me a buddy were riding and I decided to enter the turn near the far edge hopeing to cut accross the turn. Just so happens there was a flat piece of metal/tin, probably a road sign, laying there. The tin slid as my front tire hit it but not too bad but when my back tire came off it I was way out of line and the bike tried to kick itself straight up and launch me off. The issue was in serious doubt but I managed to stay on and straighten it out, I think my finger prints are still embedded on the grips and I was wearing gloves.

That night as I was sitting in my garage enjoying an adult beverage, I could hear the bike wispering...pssst, hey you, yeah you, the old fart in the chair over there, remember that time you layed that enduro down back in the 70s? It hurt, didn't it!!! Well I ain't no dirt bike and you ain't no kid, if you try that again I'll put you in a world of hurt, if you are lucky.

I still like to hear the thunder and feel the wind, I just don't feel the need to prove anything to myself anymore.

Ride safe,
Doug

lol... I like that one Doug!

I got a primary cover i just changed out because of some scrapes... What i trip out on is that sometimes the scrape can be as smooth as silk and others can be just down right vicious... Ouch!

I know exactly what you mean, I just about pooped myself the first time my pegs touched. Now that its lowered and have the new hammer pegs on there, I'll prolly cry if I do that again...

As opposed to the claw and heel marks you get on your back from doing the matress mombo.
