Default Scraping Floor Boards
I know everyone's done it, but I'm curious to see the different reactions that individual riders take when the boards start scraping.
This is my first bike with floor boards so Im pretty new in that sense but my reaction is that it usually catches me off gaurd and I tend to straighten out a little to stop the noise when I hear it.
Does anyone react differently, such as keep on leaning and just grind them more for example.
Feel free to share any anecdotes here.

I can usually feel the OL tighten up abit. Other than that, I take it for what it is. The bike telling me, THAT'S FAR ENOUGH!

Not a true statement. Never scraped mine and have no plans to.

The first time scare the pop out of you. After that you learn to expect it from time to time. Like Dawg says you get a slap from the wife.
