It finally happened...
no wreck.. please don't jinx me..
i was wondering when it was going to happen. i scrapped my boards going through a turn.. i always wondered just how far i had to lean'er to scrap boards, now i know.. it wasn't even a high speed curve, moderate speed with a curve sharper then i thought it was.
it scared the hell out of me at first, then i thought COOL !!!.. i'll know what to expect next time..

Scared the crap out of me the first time it happened too. Then I started to do it intentionally just to get used to them scrapping.
If you have the footboard extenders, it'll happen much more often. Just get used to it.

i like that idea..
for as loud as it was, i thought it would be scraped up more, but when i got home and looked at it, its not as much as i thought.

I've gotten so use to the scrape sound I look forward to it.
I like to take off from a stop sign turning to the left and dragging my foot until I hear the scrape, then slide my foot on to the floor board as it lifts off the road surface.
Oh, don't try this with stock Dunlops.
